It doesn't work. I've tested:

startup.pl:
-----------
package Cleanup;

$Cleanup::parent_pid = $$;

END{

    eval q{
           if ($$ == $Cleanup::parent_pid) {
               `echo $Cleanup::parent_pid $$ >> /tmp/parent`;
           } else {
               `echo $Cleanup::parent_pid $$ >> /tmp/children`;
           }
          };
}

the parent process doesn't run the END block.
