Sure.  I need to run multiple copies of the same script as a service, but of course two serv
ices cannot share the same name.  I
could build multiple exe files with PerlSvc::Name defined differently in each, but I'd rathe
r not.  I discovered that you can add
more arguements on the startup line beyond "foo -install" and access them (was this intended
?).  Thus, my install command looks like
"foo -install -svcname=FOO1 -cfgfile=foo1.cfg".  Sure enough, I can use GetOpt to get svcnam
e, set PerlSvc::Name, and service FOO1
is installed and can be started.  Unfortunately, the code loses the install context, you can
not set arguments, and does not know the
service name; without context it cannot determine any other instance related information.  I
 tried setting the "start parameters"
from the service manager service properties screen, but did not find any way to access them.
  I was/am going to look at CPAN to see
if anything looked interesting, but any suggestions you have are welcome.

Thanks
