in reply to Win32::Daemon - dead or alive?

In Windows, a daemon is called a service. The ActiveState program that can make this is called PerlSvc. One link: (other PDK versions are available - this isn't the latest)
http://docs.activestate.com/pdk/7.3/PerlSvc_overview.html
Of course the disadvantage of this is that you have to buy it from ActiveState.

    Thanks for the hints. I have been looking at Activestates offering and found in comparison that Win32::Daemon looks promising. For this reason, I want to know what is happening to that particular module.

      I'd be curious to know what you find out re: ActiveState vs Win32::Daemon. None of my Windows programs require a daemon, but you never know....

        Win32::Daemon is a module that allows you to write Windows Services. Take a look at the documentation - its still on CPAN.
