[Catalyst] Re: Log::Dispatch plugin is not working when run in the background

[Robert Rothenberg]

This appears to be fixed by adding the

  close_after_write true

option. I'm not sure that I understand *why* not using this option causes it
to exit or just not write anything, but that seems to be what happens.

I'm not sure if this is a Catalyst of Log::Dispatch issue.
