Sorry - I gave you some wrong information. The `use` command does not return the true value that `require` returns. So you need to throw out the second line that contains `did not return a true value` of my code: `use strict; if ($^O =~ /MSWin32/) { my $res = eval "use Win32::Service"; die $@ if $@; # do Windows code } else { # Assume Unix, even though there are other platforms # do Unix code };` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
