Icon on system tray

[Anonymous Monk]

I'm trying to put an icon in the system tray (on Windows of course) when an event happens and have the icon disappear when I double click on it. I found this How do you toggle the system tray icon using Win32::Gui? when I did a Super Search but I can't get the code to run because of this compile error:

Can't locate Win32/GUI.pm in @INC (@INC contains: . C:/Perl/lib C:/Perl/site/lib .) at pm.pl line 1..

Can someone post or point me to a minimal piece of code that will do this?

Use PPM. Sample follows

c:>ppm
PPM interactive shell (2.1.6) - type 'help' for available commands.
PPM> install Win32::GUI
intall Win32-GUI(y/n): y
...
PPM>

Thamks Tom! That worked, I guess I was missing the library.

Well, maybe you should install the module first!

The erorr line you gave us is typical of a module not being installed. Win32::GUI is NOT installed by default in ActiveState Perl. Use PPM as per the documentation and install it, then retry your code.

I don't regularly use Active State Perl, but have you installed Win32 GUI with ppm
