You could run the script via srvany.exe (you should be able to find it somewhere online), but it's better to turn the script into a real selfsufficient service. Have a look at Win32::Daemon and Win32::Daemon::Simple.

Of course you have to communicate somehow with the service, you can't start it from the web page.
