The various web servers store their pid files in /home/metacpan/$name/var/run/, but this is a symlink to /var/run/starman/$name/. However, directories in '/var/run' are ephemeral, and will not exist if the server is restarted.
It would be better to avoid using the symlinked directories at all, both for this and for log and tmp. And the /var/run/ directories should be created as needed.
