in reply to Perl script to EXE to Windows Service

It looks like you should use pp's --link option. This lets you specify .dll files. 

    -l, --link=*FILE*|*LIBRARY*
        Add the given shared library (a.k.a. shared object or DLL) into the
        packed file. Also accepts names under library paths; i.e. "-l
        ncurses" means the same thing as "-l libncurses.so" or "-l
        /usr/local/lib/libncurses.so" in most Unixes. May be specified
        multiple times.

    thanks. Now, of course, I have to somehow figure out exactly _what_ files are not getting loaded. Unfortunately the error is a bit too terse. I look through Win32::Daemon docs to see if I can figure this out. In the meantime, if anyone else has converted a script with Win32::Daemon into an exe, and then that exe into a service, I would love to hear from you.
