Here is an interesting discovery when using the --info option when compiling
with PerlSvc.

> perlsvc @mybackup.pl.config mybackup.pl

When 'mybackup.pl.config' contains:

--force
--exe E:\Utopia\Scripts\Perl\PerlSvc_Examples\MyBackup\MyBackup.exe
--verbose
--info CompanyName="ActiveState Example";
     FileDescription="Example PerlSvc 520";
     FileVersion="1.47.7.520";
     InternalName="MyBackup";
     OriginalFilename="MyBackup";
     ProductName="Example MyBackup";
     ProductVersion="1.47.7.520";
--clean

Perlsvc will complain that 'ProductVersion' has an invalid value specified.
When option file is change to:

--force
--exe E:\Utopia\Scripts\Perl\PerlSvc_Examples\MyBackup\MyBackup.exe
--verbose
--clean
--info CompanyName="ActiveState Example";
     FileDescription="Example PerlSvc 520";
     FileVersion="1.47.7.520";
     InternalName="MyBackup";
     OriginalFilename="MyBackup";
     ProductName="Example MyBackup";
     ProductVersion="1.47.7.520"

PerlSvc compiles the service successfully without complaining about the
'ProductVersion' value.

From my experience, ensure that --info option is that last option specified
and that the last item in the list does not contain a terminating
semi-colon.  Although the PDK help documentation indicates that
'ProductVersion' is required, it compiled without complaint when the
specification is missing.
