I think you want to reduce that sleep 100 to something smaller, like sleep 2. If you need a longer sleep, then split it up and do a Win32::Daemon::State() call between each one. The Win32 service control manager polls all active services every now and then and it needs to receive a response within 15 seconds or so, otherwise it says that the service isn't responding. IIRC, Dave mentions this in the docs.

As for whether this fixes your problem, I can't say at the moment - I don't have a Win32 machine to test it on right now.

Hope this helps.
