I've been trying out some of the options above, but I've encountered some issues.

Win32::Daemon is working for me, but I'd like to use Win32::Daemon::Simple because otherwise there's a lot of skeleton code to write and, well, it's just simpler :-)

Unfortuantely, it's throwing up some errors as soon as I try to use it: 

C:\tmp>perl
use Win32::Daemon;
use Win32::Daemon::Simple;
Global symbol "$HKLM" requires explicit package name at C:/APPS/Perl/s
+ite/lib/Win32/Daemon/Simple.pm line 66.

+lib/Win32/Daemon/Simple.pm line 494.

The Win32::Daemon::Simple code is using a variable $HKLM (when attempting to talk to the Windows registry) but it's not defined in Simple.pm.

Any ideas why this is fouling up? Where is this variable supposed to come from?

One obvious area for consideration is module incompatibilites, so here are the versions I'm using: 

Win32::Daemon         $VERSION = 20030617;
Win32::Daemon::Simple $VERSION = '0.2.6';
Win32::Registry       $VERSION = '0.07';

<fingers crossed...>
