Hi Monks, I need to make my perl script work on both Windows and Unix. I'm using "use Win32:service" statement in my script for querying status of some windows "services". On Unix, the same script queries the unix processes. But, when the script is run on Unix, I get a compilation error as: Can't locate Win32/Service.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/perl5/5.00503/sun4- solaris /usr/perl5/5.00503 /usr/perl5/site_perl/5.005/sun4- solaris /usr/perl5/site_perl/5.005 .)..... Is it possible to use this statement in my script and not get this error message on unix ?? Something like this would help -- #ifdef WIN_OS // do something that is very windows specific - like: use Win32::Service; #else // unix // do something like "ps -eaf" etc #endif thanks !! -Ajith.
