I think we could really help you better if you showed us the code you tried (or an excerpt), and tell us what went wrong...

    Yup 8)
    For example when I'm using PerlSvc and my startup sub is
    sub Startup { while(ContinueRun($delay)) { $server = IO::Socket::INET->new(LocalPort => $server_port, Type => SOCK_STREAM, Reuse => 1, Listen => 10 ) # or SOMAXCONN or die "Couldn't be a tcp server on port $server_port : $@\n"; while ($client = $server->accept()) { # $client is the new connection $client->autoflush(1); while ( <$client>) { $line=$_; open OUTPUT, ">>$logfile" or die "Cannot open $logfile :$!"; print OUTPUT $line; close OUTPUT; next; } } }
    the service starts but doesn't bin the socket (while in a standalone .exe it does )
    Thanks a lot G.
