dcardamo has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: (programs and processes)

Is there a way already in place to make perl stay running as a system task so that it doesn't need to startup each time to interpret a program? Also, can it keep a stored copy of those programs in memory?
If not, is there anyone who wants to make this happen with me?
