Your script does stop the service. However, you only do Win32::Service::GetStatus("", $svc, \%statusHash); once before you try to stop the service and then after you stop the service you don't ask for the status again. So actually you need something like this.

...
Win32::Service::GetStatus("", $svc, \%statusHash);
#if ($statusHash{"CurrentState"} =~ /4/){
print "$svc" . " is currently " . $statcodeHash{$statusHash{"CurrentSt
+ate"}} . "\n";
#}

if (Win32::Service::StopService('', $svc)) {
    sleep (3);
    Win32::Service::GetStatus("", $svc, \%statusHash);
    print "$svc" . " is currently " . $statcodeHash{$statusHash{"Curre
+ntState"}} . "\n";
}
else {
    print "Error ... $^E\n";
}

I have to wait at least 3 seconds before I can check the current status of the service before I can see that the status has changed.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
