Ok, I tried it that way and inserted
OutputDebugStringA( "DllMain" );
in line 918 and
OutputDebugStringA( "Daemon::StartService: About to start the service
thread..." );
in line 1228.
In DebugView the second message appears, so receiving the messages work.
But the first message doesn't appear although it should be triggered
directly after entering DllMain().
I have to admit that it doesn't make sense - perhaps compiling with gcc
causes that by changing the signature in an invalid way!?
Do other perl modules use DllMain() for initializing?
