Description:

Dealing with all the little details of a forking daemon can be
annoying and hard. POE::Component::Daemon encapsulates all the details
into one place and (hopefully) gets them right.

POE::Component::Daemon will deal with all the annoying details of
creating and maintaining daemon processes. It can detach from the
console, handle pre-forking pools or post-forking (ie, fork on each
request). It will also redirect STDERR to a log file if asked.

POE::Component::Daemon also babysits child processes, handling their
CHLD. POE::Component::Daemon can also makes sure requests don't take
to long. If they do, it will try to get rid of them. See /BABYSITING
below.

POE::Component::Daemon does not handle listening on sockets. That is
up to your code.

Like all of POE, POE::Component::Daemon works cooperatively. It is up
your code to tell POE::Component::Daemon when it is time to fork,
block incoming requests when approriate and so on.
