Try Win32::Service. Functions of interest are:
StopService($hostName, $svcName); StartService($hostName, $svcName); PauseService($hostName, $svcName); ResumeService($hostName, $svcName); You can execute any of the functions of this module on remote-servers attached to the same network that you are and you should have ADMINISTRATOR level privileges on those machines so as to control their services, via remote-registry.
