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.

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.
