Re: jobqueue.pl permissions issue

Probably this is the same "Permission Denied" that comes up when
testing the package "Data::ObjectDriver" (prerequisite to The
Schwartz); seems like there's a windows-specific issue with the perl-
command "unlink" which is used...

OK, this issue is down to "unlink" on Windows OS. It seems on windows
it can't unlink files if the file has an open handle.

Is there any other module that can be used instead of
"Daemon::Generic" and "TheSchwartz" as both have a lot of trouble
compiling and running on Windows OS?

1. Using Notepad to create a new file and name “jobqueue.pl.pid”, then save it on “D:” driver
2. Open file “C:\Bugzilla\perl\perl\site\lib\File\Slurp.pm”
3. Edit code at line296 “unless ( sysopen( $write_fh, $file_name, $mode ) )“ to “unless ( sysopen( $write_fh, “D:/jobqueue.pl.pid”, $mode ) )”
4. Run command "perl jobqueue.pl -f start" again

Hope it is useful for you
