in reply to Win32::Daemon installed service fails to start

What now? Is there any other error log that I can turn on that actually reports on _why_ the service didn't respond in a timely fashion?

Check Settings | Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Services. Double-click on your service, and select the Log On tab, and check that your service is logging on with sufficient privs to listen on port 80.

Oops: I misread Win32::Daemon as HTTP::Daemon, and answered a question that wasn't asked.

    Hmmmm... there is no port 80 involved here. This is not a web service. Just a plain, simple service that wakes up, does nothing, then goes to sleep for 30. The service is supposed to be logging on using the Local System Account.
