Is it a daemon?  If the script terminates itself it cannot run as service.
I tried with a terminating perl script, it is executed but after exiting I
get exactly this error.

And I suggest better call bash with the script as argument:

$ cygrunsrv -I cygtest -d "Cygwin test" -p /bin/perl.exe -a /test.pl

Start the service (two tests):

$ cat /var/log/cygtest.log
Test.
Test.

$ cat test.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl

print "Test.\n";

$ delsrv cygtest
The command completed successfully.

Ciao,
