A little more info: I've tried daemon.pl, callback.pl and daemon_template.pl as services on my XP box, to no avail.
The same message occurs when attempting to start the service. It's past the point where I can troubleshoot this, as these tests are pretty much the bare essentials. No logging can take place to troubleshoot, I've tried. It's as if the svc manager just refuses to run the script. This Perl 5.8.3 build 809 on Windows XP Pro SP1, running on a Dell Inspiron 8600. Any ideas are welcome. Are there any critical services that need to be running in order for Win32::Daemon to work?
