You have to setsid too, to disassociate from your parent's process group:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use POSIX qw(setsid);
# Become a daemon
my $pid=fork;
exit if $pid; # Parent exits here
die "Couldn't fork $!" unless defined($pid);
die "Couldn't start new session $!" unless POSIX::setsid();
# Do your daemon bit...

OK, rereading the text at the top..
One way to achieve the result is to resort to bash:
#!/bin/bash
perlprog.pl&
But it seems silly just to avoid typing '&'. What exactly are you trying to achieve? | [reply] |
One solution is to fork and have the parent exit. | [reply] |
