Re: USB Drive Letter Assignment in Win32

Traveler,
ActiveState sells a product called Perl Development Kit (PDK). There are several excellent utilities in there, that I use every day. One of which is called "PerlSvc" and will package a perl script up into an EXE and allow it to be installed as a Windows service.

One benefit of this over Win32::Daemon and the others is that the EXE file is self-contained. (You can install the service on any computer without having to install Perl first)

Or if you don't want to spend money, use cpan:://Win32::Daemon with PAR to package it into a self contained exe. With a little cleverness, you can get it to extract all the bits of perl you need into an install directory and add the service..
