Jenda,

Thanks for the comprehensive reply, I'm sorry I didn't make the question clear.

I can create a service using Win32::Daemon and have done so successfully. I have built an application using both Win32::AdvNotify and Net::FTP to syncronise the content management server with the webserver. This application is currently run as a console application where the Win2k Server has been logged in.

I am now try to make the application a service so our IT guys do not have to log in to start the application.

The problem appears to that Win32::AdvNotify requires a console window and as the service will be running without being logged in, there will be no console.

I have investigated the perl code in Win32::AdvNotify and I have tried replacing use Carp; with use CGI::Carp qw(carpout); but still no luck.

I have not compiled the script, I am just running it under the windows services control panel (ie I have installed it as a service).

I hope this makes my problem clearer.

Regards
The Cat
