I've got several daemons (using Proc::Daemon) that scrape web pages and insert the info into a mysql database.

If a daemon gets killed (which they do a lot while testing) do I need to explicity close the mysql connection in a signal handler? Is there any other cleanup I should be thinking about?

I'd appreciate pointers to good reading material on daemons. I've read the Camel material, and I've picked up pieces here and there. But they tend to focus just on how simple they are. Are they?

Thank you, qq

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
