Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

It is often a pain to write a server program that supports graceful restarts, with no resource leaks. Server::Starter, solves the problem by splitting the task into two. One is start_server, a script provided as a part of the module, which works as a superdaemon that binds to zero or more TCP ports, and repeatedly spawns the server program that actually handles the necessary tasks (for example, responding to incoming connections). The spawned server programs under Server::Starter call accept(2) and handle the requests.
