I've just uploaded a new module to my pages at
http://Jenda.Krynicky.cz
It should help you create Windows services.
If your service only needs to wake up once every N minutes all you
need is to tell Win32::Daemon::Simple how to name it, what account to
install it under, what parameters you want stored in the registry and
a few more options, create the procedure that will do the work and
call
ServiceLoop(\&doTheJob);
exit;
The module will make sure your script may be installed with
scriptname.pl -install
uninstalled with
scriptname.pl -uninstall
the parameters stored in registry (including the interval) set with
-scriptname.pl -parameter=value
that your script knows whether it was started from the command
prompt, by a doubleclick or by the service manager.
It will open a log file for you and allow you to write to it with
Log("Message"); # a timestamp will be added
LogNT("Message"); # or not
It will read the actual values of the parameters and define constants
for them, etc. etc. etc.
Please let me know if
1) it works for you
2) you find it helpfull
3) you think you would want some new feature
4) if you think something hardcoded should be modifyable
5) ...
