Hi monks,

I have a POE-based program that I would like to turn into a Windows service.

POE::Component::Daemon::Win32 exists, however it is based on Win32::Daemon. And Win32::Daemon seems to be a dead-end as I'm facing the following problems:

• Win32::Daemon is not currently maintained and is not available on current Win32 perls (either ActiveState or Strawberry)
• the latest source release I've found is really old (20020606) and written in C++ without using XS
• the latest release of Win32::Daemon (20080324-beta) is available only in binary form

I tried to use SrvAny (Microsoft tool from the Windows 2003 Server Resource Kit) but I've not yet been able to catch the service stop event to cleanly exit, saving the service state. No SIGINT, no SIGTERM, the process is simply killed.

Do you kown how to catch this?
