Thank you so much for your work investigating this module.

How would I handle a "while()" loop in the "SERVICE_RUNNING" state? I tried to do modify your code to do this:

# Evaluate STATE
if( SERVICE_RUNNING == $State ) {
  $Context->{count}++;
  Log( "Running!!! Count=$Context->{count}. Timer:".Win32::Daemon::Cal
+lbackTimer() );
  my $x = 1;
  while( $State != SERVICE_STOP_PENDING && $State != SERVICE_STOPPED )
+ {
    Log($x);
    $x++;
    sleep 2;
  }
}

However, when I attempt to stop the service, the Windows Service Manager does not stop it. It eventually times out after 2-3 minutes and complains that it couldn't stop it.

Do I have to fork() my while loop as a child process? Or are my while() loop conditions just wrong?
