You can add a *value* named "DependOnService" under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\YOURSERVICE
It seems to normally be a REG_MULTI_SZ type value, but maybe it works with
a normal REG_SZ value too; you may want to try it.
I've added an enhancement request to the PDK bug database for letting
PerlSvc handle this for you:
