Re: Thoughts on how to devise a queryable win32 service

Thanks o wise ones! I have looked at POE before and have not undertaken the learning curve and found the documentation, well, open sourc'ish...lol

I will go down the enlightened path of using a thread as I really only have to access a string var in the main code. Sounds easy enough given BrowserUk's description.

Might be completely OT (apologies if it is) - but you mentioned Win32-Process etc. Have you looked at WMI? You can find out just about anything -hardware, processes, installed applications, services (and do things e.g. spawn processes, etc.) on the local machine or remote machines. Start at Microsoft WMI docs I haven't use WMI from Perl, but I have in Tcl using Tcom, so I'm sure Perl can do it!	[reply]
