in reply to Perl daemon that runs another daemon
Just from reading your requirements, I'd say that your daemon is already probably running on your server: sshd!
Read the following aloud to yourself:
I would like to do a daemon that listen in a specific port. This daemon will run commands come from client machines. I will develop a web application that will permit actions like start and stop, of several services (apache,mysql,asterisk...), so the application will connect in this daemon to run commands (/etc/init.d/mysql stop, for examplo)Your description is exactly that of someone doing ssh <host> <command>. Of course in your case the someone will be your "web application".
If you hate security, passwords, and keys and all that then do telnet instead.
