Build Forge v8 Perl Engine should be added as a WIndows Service

The Build Forge v8 Perl Engine currently needs to be started manually from the command line. This also means that there is no way to automatically do this on boot, out of the box.

The Perl engine should also be installed as a Windows Service, or should have an option to be.

    As part of the review process, we strive to be transparent about our intentions with each enhancement suggestion. The offering team has carefully reviewed this idea and has decided that it does not fit into our current plans, too aged so plans may have changed or has been implemented, so the idea will be closed. The idea will be kept in IBM's ideas repository and may still be voted on. It might be reassessed or reopened for additional feedback in the future. We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us the privilege of partnering with you in developing our products.
