vroom, take a look at this: example script - it may give you some ideas. Check out this brief tutorial: Win32-GUI-How To - under System Tray Icon. Also, about the icon disappearing - is a bug.

There is a small bug in this program. The tray icon does not disappear
+ immediately when the program terminates. Instead, it remains in the 
+system tray until you point the mouse cursor at it, when it disappear
+s. This is a bug in Win32::GUI - when you close your program, you sho
+uld explicitly remove any system tray icons you still have displayed.
+ Win32::GUI does not (yet) have a way of removing a tray icon. Hopefu
+lly, this will be fixed in a later version.
