Has anyone had any experience with making servers in perl under Windows?
Maybe a couple of tips can get Guy running...
That would be "get Charles running". Please go back and read the thread
carefully. In particular read the "perlfork" man page.
Sorry... that was "get Charles running".
I was referring to make QP work on windows the way the asnyc server got
qp to work in an asnyc environment, not trying to make it run by
"forking", but by writing a new server specific to windows.
A "couple of tips" is not going to do it.
You are right. What I was proposing is not a begginers task, or a task
to get someone going rapidly. I wrote that to see if someone aported
some tips on writing windows specific services in perl, and maybe be
brave enough to code and try it out :)
I suggested trying qpsmtpd-apache because that would mean running
qpsmtpd on top of perl on top of apache. Both perl and apache have been
ported to windows by people who have looked carefully at the
differences. Apache has a special library to take care of these (but
perl does not use it). Unless someone has already got qpsmtpd working
on windows, it is not a job for a beginner.
But it's always worth a try... ;)
