       This engine reproduces the older child creation algorithm of HTTP::Proxy.

       The module defines the following methods, used by HTTP::Proxy main loop:

       start()
           Initialise the engine.

       run()
           Implements the forking logic: a new process is forked for each new incoming TCP connection.

       stop()
           Reap remaining child processes.

       The following method is used by the engine internally:

       reap_zombies()
           Process the dead child processes.
