Thanks,

I tried the test at that link and get the same results:

C:\Users\john\test>perl Create.pl
Successfully added.
finished.

C:\Users\john\test>net start perltest
The Perl: Test of Win32::Daemon ($ServiceName) service is starting.

C:\Users\john\test>net stop perltest

All of the menu options are greyed out for starting, stopping, etc. for the PerlTest service, just as they are for my service.

Actually, I think I just figured it out.

if ($Win32::Daemon::VERSION < 20180000) {
    Win32::Daemon::AcceptedControls(SERVICE_ACCEPT_STOP
                                  | SERVICE_ACCEPT_PAUSE_CONTINUE
                                  | SERVICE_ACCEPT_SHUTDOWN
                                  | SERVICE_ACCEPT_PARAMCHANGE
                                  | SERVICE_ACCEPT_NETBINDCHANGE);
}

The problem seems to be that this should not be in an if statement. For some reason I thought this call did not need to be made for Win32::Daemon version 20181025, which is on this system.
