stefp has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

The is plenty of windoze ressources to create a favicon.ico. I want to do that under linux. Apparently one step is missing from linux tools: converting a bitmap to the icon form. This page provides a tool but a windoze one.

Any documentation pointer about the icon format; or, better, a perl script that does the job is welcome.

    The Netpbm toolkit includes "ppmtowinicon". It's not perl specific, but it does run under linux. Netpbm provides utilities to convert to and from a variety of formats.
