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'

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
