You mean something like:
myhyla  stream  tcp     nowait  me     /home/me/perlscripts/hylafax_polling.pl     /home/me/perlscripts/hylafax_polling.pl

in inetd.conf?
I also made an entry in /etc/services for myhyla.

I tried it, and I am having a hard time passing parameters to the script.
Hard time is an understaement, I have NOT succeeded.
