salutations, i know there is some info on cpan about daemonization, but i am fairly new to perl, and i dont think that is what i need...

would anyone know a way for me to run a perl script as a deamon... i am actually testing out that nifty tutorial on the IO Sockets MP3 server http://perlmonks.org/index.pl?node=MP3%20server%20with%20IO%3A%3ASocket and i was wondering how i could make that run daemonized... the script works well, but making it as a daemon would be really neat.

thanks for all your help monks
