Bug#735625: libdaemon-control-perl: Current package version in wheezy fails to create pid file. Packaged version in unstable is the fixed version.

[William King]

I was following this post for creating an init script for a perl
catalyst fastcgi instance:
http://blogs.perl.org/users/davewood/2012/12/moving-my-catalyst-apps-from-apachefcgi-to-nginxstarman.html

The symptom is that when you try to start the application you'll see
permission denied when trying to create the /var/run/myapp.pid file.
