Attached is a patch for 1.59 that will allow you to specify a pidfile in
the configuration... it has been lightly tested with both console and
daemon mode and, well, the pid seems to match the running process in
each case.

If no 'pidfile' option is provided perlbal functionality does not
change.  If you want a pidfile, specify an option like so:

server pidfile = /var/run/perlbal.pid
