You can use the Win32::Daemon module.
ftp://ftp.roth.net/pub/ntperl/Daemon/20000319/Bin/ )
Dave Roth covers the use of the module in his new book "Win32 Perl
Scripting - The Administrator's Handbook"
http://www.roth.net/redirect/home.asp?source=Perl;key=rc_handbook ) and
has example scripts in the package.
You can place your script into the framework in the daemonx.pl script on
http://web.infoave.net/~ppopour/perl.html then recompile it.
It doesn't have a built in create function so you'll need to use the
create.pl script that comes with the package.
