The process terminated unexpectedly

I can't speak from Perl experience (not having written any Win32 perl services), but from maintaining a C++/Java service our company has, I can say a few things about "Unexpected Shutdown". I've chased these kind of defects for weeks! The service must end in 3 seconds after recieving the request to shut down. If you ignore the request or are too slow, you'll see this message. Look at your active state docs and see if you are handling that shutdown hook decently...decent threading should help you somewhat, but make sure all of your threads will end nicely when requested!
