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

O, wise ones (humbled, as always, in your presence):

We are considering upgrading an application to 5.10, but we have not been able to get Win32::Daemon to work properly therewith.

After some tweaking, my colleague has been able to compile the code on CPAN, but it won't run. Dave Roth, the author of the module, doesn't seem to be responding to queries.

Win32::Daemon has been recommended here by some of the wisest monks. That leads me to believe that there are some users of the module in this here Monastery, some of whom may have tried to use it with 5.10. Has anyone else taken a shot at this? If not, I would like to pose it as a PerlMonks Challenge, please.

Suggestions for an alternative solution are welcome, too.
