I believe you need to fork twice, so that the long-running process is
a child of init (not a child of Apache). Something like (untested):
if (!defined(my $f1 = fork()))
{
die "fork failed: $!\n";
}
elsif ($f1)
{
# Parent
exit(0);
}
elsif (!defined(my $f2 = fork()))
{
die "second fork failed: $!\n";
}
elsif ($f2)
{
# Child
exit(0);
}
else
{
# Grandchild
exec(...);
}
