Does anyone know how to do it via Win32::API?

THX a lot......

###my perlscript is following #####.

+'N') or  die Win32::FormatMessage(Win32::GetLastError());

typedef struct _NOTIFYICONDATA { 
    DWORD cbSize; 
    HWND hWnd; 
    UINT uID; 
    UINT uFlags; 
    UINT uCallbackMessage; 
    HICON hIcon; 
    TCHAR szTip[64];
    DWORD dwState; //Version 5.0
    DWORD dwStateMask; //Version 5.0
    TCHAR szInfo[256]; //Version 5.0
    union {
        UINT  uTimeout; //Version 5.0
        UINT  uVersion; //Version 5.0
    } DUMMYUNIONNAME;
    TCHAR szInfoTitle[64]; //Version 5.0
