dragonchild has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm using Test::Cmd to test a daemon. Part of this testing requires forking off a process in the test scripts to simulate a file growing (as through FTP). I've had the darndest time figuring out how to get this to work with Test::Cmd, because the child process would clean up the environment when it exited. I've figured out a solution, which is pop @{$test->{cleanup}}; in the child process. However, that came about by reading the source.

Anyone familiar enough with the API to provide a non-internals-mucking solution to this?
