I'm using Active Perl with Tk and Win32::GUI().
Calls are to Win32::GUI::Window->new and then to AddNotifyIcon.
Code looks like this: 
sub SetupSystray{
 $TrayIcon  = new Win32::GUI::Icon('WebCam.ico');    
 
 $TrayWinHidden = Win32::GUI::Window->new(
                  -name => 'TrayWindow',
                  -text => 'TrayWindow',
                  -width => 20,
                  -height => 20,
                  -visible => 0,
                  );

 $TrayNotify = $TrayWinHidden->AddNotifyIcon(
               -name => "WebCam-App",
               -icon => $TrayIcon,
               -tip => "WebCam",
               -balloon_icon => "info",
               -onRightClick => \&TrackTrayMenu,
               -onClick => \&ToggleProgWindow,
               );

 $TrayMenu = Win32::GUI::Menu->new(
             "" => "Options",
             ">WebCam" => {-name => "WebCam"},
             ">-" => 0,
             ">Open/Close" => {-name => "ToggleProg", -onClick => \&To
+ggleProgWindow,-default => 1},
             ">-" => 0,
             ">Exit"   => {-name => "Exit",-onClick => \&CloseDownFrom
+Tray}
             ) or prtFTL "Failed to create Tray Menu $!";
 }

sub CloseDownFromTray{
    $mw->destroy;
}
