Hello Monks,

Here's something I want to throw out.I am feeling real dumb about this.I have a script that I want to run as a win32 service.After looking at a lot of ption (srvany.exe, win32::deamonize etc) I decided that it would probably be a lot easier to just buy PDK 7.5 and use the perlsvc utility to create the service.

i found a tutorial @ http://ivoronline.com/Programming/PERL/Tutorials/PERL%20-%20Support%20-%20PerlSvc.php

so if my code is 
#!usr/bin/perl
use modules XYZ
while(1){
DO ABC
}

Where would i place my code in the code that they have provided if i need to get it to run as a service? Their code is 
MyService.pl

    package PerlSvc;
    $PerlSvc::Name        = "MyService";       
#Short name by which your service is known.
    $PerlSvc::DisplayName = "MyService Display";    #Display name in W
+indows Control Panel.

    

    sub PerlSvc::Startup(){                  
#Function called when the service is started.
      my $exitloop = 1;
      my $sleep    = 1;
      while ($exitloop) {
        $outputFile = "C:/TEMP/Perl/myservice.log";
        if(!open(myOutput, ">>$outputFile ")) { print("Could not open"
+.$outputFile); }    
        print(myOutput localtime(time)."\n");
        print localtime(time)."\n";
        close(myOutput );
        sleep $sleep;
      }
    }
