Because SlimServer has been developped in Perl, I guess. It's probably as  
simple as that.

Services are run at machine startup. You don't have to log on to run them  
- just power it up and you're done. This is standard behaviour for any  
server. I usually don't log on to my SlimServer (it's running headless).
