For the time being, at least, this is probably the easiest option.

Something like:

    hook after => sub {
        if (fork) {
            # parent - do nothing
        } else {
            # Child - sleep for a while
            sleep 50;
            exit;
        }
    };

With a quick test, that works as expected.  (The exit is required, so that the 
child process doesn't then go on return control to Dancer.)
