I assume that your subject is correct, and you made a typo in your question above and meant to say "service" where you said "process", because obviously any Perl script that is running will be run as a process on Win32 (or at least it will spawn a perl.exe process that will run the script). To run a Perl program as a service you can do a number of things. The Microsoft Windows2000 Resource Kit tool srvany.exe allows you to create arbitrary windows services from any command line. This is quite clunky and gives your program no control over stop, start, pause and resume events. The better option is to get the ActiveState Perl Development Kit which has (amongst other things) a tool called PerlSvc. This allows you to write proper services in Perl with proper event handlers for the service events. It works very well, I've written a few services in it and all have worked very well. >Is it also possible on unix? Under UNIX (AFAIK) the equivalent to a service is a daemon. I don't know anything about how these work or whether they can be written in Perl. I'd be very surprised if you couldn't do this quite easily. -- Jason King _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
