Hi,

Try it out:

sub GetExeLocation()
{
    my $i;
   
    my $MyPath = $0;
    my @MyPathArray = split(/\\/,$MyPath);
    for($i=0 ; $i<scalar(@MyPathArray)-1 ; $i++)
    {
        $ExeLocation .= $MyPathArray[$i]."\\";
    };
    chop ($ExeLocation);
}

It works for me. I'm compiled this into exe using perl2exe.

Good luck,
Nahum

Hi all,

It's like this: I built an executable using PerlSvc, and I install the
service like this:
c:\app\test.exe --install

In Services, the 'Path to Execute' field shows:
c:\app\test.exe

But when I start the service, and I print out the current working
directory, it's:
C:/WINDOWS/system32

I suspect the packaged executable unpacks itself somewhere, and runs the
script in that other directory. How can I get the path where the
application is stored (ie. c:\app\)?

One way is to add it to the argument of the service, which should work,
but it's not as elegant...
