An alternative that you could check out is salva's fairly new module Win32::Packer, which appears to let you specify an icon file to use. I haven't had a chance to try out the module myself, but I've been wanting to do so.

Based on it's CPAN Testers results, it looks like you might have a challenge getting Win32::Packer to install with the portable Strawberry Perl version 5.14.4 that you say you are using.
