Hello,

I have a perl script as a service in windows: 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\daemon\Parameter
+s]
"Application"="C:\\perl\\bin\\perl.exe"
"AppParameters"="c:\\server\\server.pl"

[download]

I installed it wit srvany.

Now I have a debug switch I can turn on and then all the print statements get printed. Also there are some issues throwing perl warnings. I tried to redirect with >> and 2>>, but this doesn't work while running as a service.

I tried to create a bat file, but then I can't stop the service anymore.

So I need some guidance how to redirect the STDERR AND STDOUT to a file when running as a windows service.

Edit: g0n - removed pre tags, added formatting
