Re^3: Can't change icon with win32 module

[Anonymous Monk]

SetConsoleIcon is implemented as an IPC message/call to CSRSS.

I figured it was something like that :) but how do you know, its undocumented?

Look at the assembly code, it doesn't do anything but call CsrClientCallServer, which is IPC to CSRSS. Perl is started in one of 2 ways, in an existing console box owned by cmd.exe, or in its own console box owned by perl.exe. SetConsoleIcon will work on both probably, but SetClassLong will only work if the console is owned by perl.exe I *guess* (start-run-perl.exe).
