I need to write a program that stops/starts windows services...in linux/unix using perl this is very simple; but in windows when you do a net stop <service name> it sends a response to the service control manager which in turn sends a response to the actual service...I know (in my program) i need to add use win32 but I need to be able to send a response to the service control manager....I don't know exactly how to do this...can anyone point me in the direction of a perl script that stops/starts a windows service? thx
