I tried that already. The service works with -w "slimserver.pl" in the AppParameters string, but error redirection to a file doesn't happen when I add 2>error.txt to it. I guess this is incorrectly passed as a parameter to perl. I tried adding the redirection to srvany.exe, but that doesn't work either. I think the only way is to write a proper service, that spawns the perl process and catches the error stream. The service could also respond to a shutdown event and properly tidy up when perl process dies. It can also write to the app event log. I can write this, but only know how to do it in .NET, so would require the .NET framework if others want to use it.
