Win32::Daemon with 5.10. news?

justus_ch has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi there,

in order to setup an ASSP system (http://sourceforge.net/projects/assp/) on a windows server 2003 I started with an activestate perl installation (v.5.10.1 for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread build 1006). Following the instructions from the sourceforge wiki for assp I have to run perl as service and therefore tried to install Win32::Daemon from http://www.roth.net/perl/Daemon/.

unfortunately this daemon won't work with perl 5.10 as I also found in Win32::Daemon with 5.10. and elsewere. Is there a new solution or workaround available in the meanwhile? Can somebody help me to get this working? Or exist some alternatives to Win32::Daemon?

Many thanks.

There are a couple of suggestions at Install a perl script as a Win NT/2000/XP service.	[reply]

thanks for your reply. but this looks much to complicated to me. since Win32::daemon can be compiled and installed without using any sryany.exe type service stubs and would be much more handy to set up I really prefer a solution with win32::daemon... is it impossible at all to get this stuff working on 5.10??
