I have used Win32::Service and it returns several codes that I use a hash to get a word based status. 
my %statcodeHash = (
     '1' => 'stopped',
     '2' => 'start pending',
     '3' => 'stop pending',
     '4' => 'running',
     '5' => 'continue pending',
     '6' => 'pause pending',
     '7' => 'paused'
);

...

print "Status = $statcodeHash{$statusHash{"CurrentState"}}\n";

Not sure what all Win32::Daemon returns. Maybe this gives you another option.
