instead of $pid->active only returning 1 for true, it will simply return the pid of the active process. Since the pid will never be 0, active will still be true and work as documented. (thanks to Paul Baker)

make the module work under -T (HASANT)
make the module work with forking servers -- child processes's DESTROY now won't delete the pid file (Brad Hilton)
