in reply to Net::Server on Win32?

There is a version of Net::Server on ActiveState's PPM according to http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/module/Net::Server but only for Perl 5.6.

However, the ActiveState PPM site for Perl 5.6 and 5.8 says it failed to build on Win32.

So I tried to install it myself with the CPAN module, but unfortunately all tests using some form of "FORK" hang on the fourth item tested. Also the UNIX test fails.

I then deleted all these test files and installed it nevertheless and ran the example in the docs (the one using PREFORK) and that ran fine.

    Thank you very much for this info. My test failed also, but I'll simply give it a go.
