Separate your program from your service, compile it into a a executable, say backupsvr.exe. Then build a PDK service that creates and kills the process using Win32::Process. Add backupsvr.exe to your included files using PerlSvc.exe e.g. 
package PerlSvc;

use strict;
use Win32::Process;

our %Config;

sub Startup {
    my $Process;
    my $backupsvr = PerlSvc::extract_bound_file('backupsvr.exe');
    Win32::Process::Create(
        $Process,
        $backupsvr,
        'backupsvr',
        0,
        NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS,
        "."
    );
    while (ContinueRun(10)) { }
    $Process->Kill(0);
}

sub Pause { }
sub Continue { }
sub Interactive { }
sub Help { }

sub Install {
    $Config{ServiceName} = 'MyBackupService';
    $Config{DisplayName} = 'My Backup Service';
}

sub Remove {
    $Config{ServiceName} = 'MyBackupService';
}

package main;
