I'm sure I've seen a thread on this, but a casual search didn't turn it
up. (I'm always looking in the wrong places.)
When I'm logged in as a user, I can set the appropriate environmen
variables, but when a daemon is running, where is it going to get them?

My experience is that this kind of thing tends to lead to dead code or
endless loops. Do I need to dig in and find the macro declaration and
see if I can fix it?

Okay, one more that had me curious, from the configure script --
vfork() found.
Perl can only use a vfork() that doesn't suffer from strict
restrictions on calling functions or modifying global data in
the child. For example, glibc-2.1 contains such a vfork()
that is

Do you still want to use vfork()? [y]
Do I take this to mean that Mac OS X (10.2.8) still doesn't have a
proper fork for Perl's purposes? (for Perl 5.8.4)
Dunno. I

No, you're using Perl's built-in copy() function, so the back-slash
