Here's an example daemon. I continue to twiddle and tweak it periodically.

#!/usr/bin/perl

# Location of hosts DBM database
$hosts = '/usr/local/etc/hosts';

# Smtpd: SMTP daemon
#
# Install with a line like so in /etc/inetd.conf:
#  smtp stream tcp nowait root .../smtpd %A

# If we print anything, let's make it look like Internet goop.
$\="\r\n"; # output line delimiter


# Save hostname for a zillion messages; date is needed for mail header
$hostname=`hostname`;
chop $hostname;
$date = `date`;
chop $date;

# Parse arg. The %A above cause $ARGV[0] to be something like 810e5850.2569
$ARGV[0] =~ s/^([0-9a-e][0-9a-e])// || die "500 bad address\r\n221 $hostname stopped";
$o1 = hex($1);

$port = $1;
