I have a perl script that sits and waits for socket connections and I want to make this into a windows XP service but Im unsure how to do this.
activestate at http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/docs/ActivePerl/5.8/faq/Windows/ActivePerl-Winfaq4.html#What_is_a_Windows_NT2000_service_ says this little bit on how to do it: "How do I run a Perl script as a Windows 200x/XP Service? You can run your Perl scripts as Windows 200x/XP Services by accessing the Microsoft Management Console. The Windows 200x/XP help files contain plenty of information on how to start the MMC and how you can use it for Perl scripts." Which dosnt help me much and the Windows 200x/XP help files make me unlearn things theyre so bad. Also, Ive seen that there are some libraries like Win32::Service and Win32::Daemon, but the perldocs arent explaining what I need to know. Could I use these modules to make my perl script into a service? Is there an easy registry setting to set and make it load a perl script (I can call a perl script from a .bat file) as a service? Im looking for a book or a tutorial or, if its easy, a message on how to do this.
