Hello all,

Is there any way to run a perl script as a service on NT? Or can someone point me to the correct node to learn about it?

Thanks,

    you can use the resource kit tool called srvany.exe. There's documentation on Activestate's web site here.

    Hope this helps..

    http://www.roth.net has Win32::Daemon - Extension enabling Win32 perl scripts to be a service. There are samples in the package and Dave's books cover this,too.

    A Win32::Daemon search may retur some other useful tidbits.

    Also if you have funds to burn the ActiveState Dev Kit has a tool that does this.
