Hello Anon Monk
I modified your code: 

#!/usr/bin/perl --
use strict;
use warnings;
use Win32::SysTray;

sTray( @ARGV );
exit( 0 );

sub sTray {
    my $tray = new Win32::SysTray (
          'icon'   => 'C:\images\logo.ico' ,
          'single' => 1,
    ) or exit 0;

    $tray->setMenu (
            "> &Test" => sub { print "Hello from the Tray\n"; },
            ">-"      => 0,
            "> E&xit"=> sub { exit; },
    );

    begin( $tray );
}

sub begin {
   my( $tray ) = @_;
 
         die "user quit" if -1 == Poke( $tray );
}

#~ sub Win32::SysTray::Poke {
sub Poke {
    my( $tray ) = @_;
   print  "\nWhat is your name? "; 
   chomp(my $name=<STDIN>);
   print "\nHello $name\n\n";
    Win32::GUI::DoEvents();
}

This is a smaller version from the larger program...a series of user inputs etc. When I run the above code it waits for an input....while I'm waiting for the input I would like to exit the program by clicking on the icon. That's what I'm trying to do....it works fine using your random number example. Thanks in advance.
