Here's the issue.The network people in the company say they would prefer if i could bundle perl and the reqd modules into an exe or something and then manke it a service so that they don't have to instal perl if and ever the server breaks.Would this make any difference in the choice?

BTW ,1) I am real stupid and 2) I don't have much time to figure stuff out, since i have to get this into production on saturday.

So If anyone could provide a step by step tutorial as to how to create a service i would like to learn.I see your code, but could you explain what each bit does, where my code could potentially go in this big bit of code and how would i be able to do graceful shutdown?
