Try writing it as a service using Win32::Daemon (http://www.roth.net/perl), then using Windows' auto-restart functionality. If it runs in a service context it won't be killable in Task Manager anyway (although the TerminateProcess API still works so pskill.exe from sysinternals and other similar goodies will still work).
Takes a bit of effort to get right, especially since you can't see a console so debugging is hard, and God help you if you try services with threads, although I've made it work successfully here. Assuming you have a daemon type process, worth a look.

I tried $SIG{INT}, but that only works with Ctrl-C, in a console. Lets say i were to kill the process using the Task Manager ("end process"). How do I get the script to automatically restart? Thanks in advance for all your help.
