Ran into yet another issue. The request for 5 second intervals is not honored on the systems in question. Intervals can be 20 seconds or more apart. Here is a mod to make the execution happen closer to on time.

our $startTime = time(); # put this line BEFORE use Win32::Daemon;
... ... ...
our $t;
sub Callback_Running {
    my ($Event, $Context) = @_;
    $t = $startTime if ! $t;    

    if (SERVICE_RUNNING == Win32::Daemon::State()) {
        if (time() - $t >= $iSleep * 60) {
            print $fh "Checking in.\n";
            # Do work here
            $t = time();
        }

        # These two lines are needed for both versions
        $Context->{last_state} = SERVICE_RUNNING;
        Win32::Daemon::State( SERVICE_RUNNING );
    }
    elsif (SERVICE_PAUSED == Win32::Daemon::State()) {
        # Without this, pause/continue fails
        $Context->{last_state} = SERVICE_PAUSED;
        Win32::Daemon::State( SERVICE_PAUSED );
    }
}

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
