I'm interested in the matter (abandoned services in Perl since the day of "service could not start in a timely fashion".. error)
I have installed your service and now i'm monitoring it for the next 4 hours, with:

                                                            #PID
       perl -E "for(1..240){system qq(tasklist /fi \"PID eq 17360\" /n
+h);sleep 60}"
       
       # UPDATE: RESULTS
       perl.exe                     17360 Services                   0
+      9.136 K
       # 240x60 sec after..
       perl.exe                     17360 Services                   0
+     16.768 K


       #it leaked 31.8K every minute

UPDATE: The increment seems to me constant over time even if not so regular:

perl -lanE "$res{$F[-2]}++;END{print map{qq($_ = $res{$_}\n)} sort {$a
+<=>$b} keys %res}" c:\SCRIPTS\leakedmemory.log
 = 283 # blanks lines emitted by 'tasklist'
9.136 = 1
9.268 = 4
9.396 = 4
9.572 = 1
9.720 = 4
9.848 = 4
9.976 = 4
10.104 = 4
10.360 = 8
10.488 = 4
10.616 = 5
10.744 = 4
10.872 = 4
11.128 = 8
11.384 = 8
11.644 = 9
11.900 = 8
12.156 = 9

The leak even if little is yet noticeable: the working set is passed fro 9.136K to 9.848K in 15 minutes. Private bytes also are arising. I'm using also Process Explorer. I think you need to investigate further. Have you some holidays? look at this article: identifying-memory-leak-with-process-explorer-and-windbg and share your results! in the meantime I have not enough time to investigate.
I'll tell you more

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
