I'm right there with you bitwise. Please check out this before going any further.

I had a similar problem. I was using PerlApp. The problem that I ran into in my code was actually something that wasn't very clear to me after rtfm'ing. In the code I have DBI::ODBC as a string. In the documentation they say that if you use a scalar like use $varrepresentinglib or require $varrepresentinglib it will not compile because PerlApp does not parse use statements. It also does not parse modules you are using when you call another module via a scalar.

Since DBI::ODBC was contained in a scalar value, PerlApp never picked up it needed DBD::ODBC.

The solution to my problem was to add -a DBD::ODBC at compile time. As far as NT Services go, I learned in my NT Admin assignments that services are fickle beasties.

Can you use the AT command to schedule an EXE to run instead of a service? Does it need to be a service?
