This is a respose to both Juerd and crenz so I'll put the node here.

# # the short name by which your service will be known (cannot be 'my')
# Please document *why* something is not possible, instead of just "can't do this".

Because otherwise PerlSvc would not be able to read it.

# Do check the return values. In a module, it's better to turn PrintError off and handle errors yourself.

This ain't a module. The PerlSvc tool requires that the service name and the callbacks are in package PerlSvc. I think the info should contain a pointer to the PerlSvc docs and the "Perl Development Kit" should also be mentioned to prevent confusion.
