    All,

    I have recently developed a Win32 service (using Win32::Daemon) on my
    single processor box, then deployed it onto a multi-processor box (P4
    with Hyperthreading On).

    Whilst it works fine on my PC, it seems to run on both processors
    simulaeneously, causing problems whereby the same data is processed
    twice and at the same time.

    Is there some way I can force perl (or Win32::Daemon) to run as if it
    were a single processor box, and not attempt to maximise the
    throughput across all
    processors?

    Thanks in advance

    Roy
