Dear esteemed perveyors of pearl wisdom; your humble acolyte has returned with a more difficult question. More difficult than "how do I share common constants among several scripts", but not as difficult as "why the *&*#$% doesn't perl have a #include statement". Thanks to your sage advice, my perl daemons are working fine, and it is time to release them. Maybe even hundreds of them. But there, most sagatious monks, lies the problem.

Each of my daemons is taking up 5.6MB of memory (varying a bit with the kind of daemon)! Apparently each of these daemons is loading the perl interpreter, or a large library, or both. Can these daemons be taught temperance and liberality so that they may share amongst themselves? If it is possible, what Google incantation would lead this unworthy supplicant to greater understanding?
