Melbourne.PM Win32 talk

I gave a talk on things to think about to make a Win32 port easier at Melbourne.PM last night.

Although, as pointed out at the end of the night, it was actually more of a talk on making a perl program behave like a native Win32 program from the POV of an external customer.

Points covered were

  • correct Win32 File system layout
  • Logging (Win32::EventLog)
  • Services (Win32::Daemon)
  • Process Creation (Win32::Process)
  • Process Monitoring (Win32::Process::Info)
  • File System Security (Win32::FileSecurity)
  • short wix section

All up, about an hour's worth of talk, after which i had to go instead of pubbing due to a nasty cold.

Can we see?
