Would Win32::Service help? There's a suite of service management functions including: StopService.

You might be able to get that to play nicely with Win32::AdminMisc CreateProcessAsUser.

If you have much Win32 stuff to play with Dave Roth's book "Win32 Perl Programming: The Standard Extensions, Second Edition" is well worth checking out.

    Yes, it will help the code (thanks!) -- just won't get me around the evil act-as-part-of-OS-permission problem!

    BTW, I didn't know David Lee Roth was into Perl. Awesome!
