I want to pose the same question, only also for Windows, KDE and GNOME. But let me put it in context. When on Windows I click Start->All Programs and then put my mouse cursor over "Games", I can then see the different games I have installed. Each company that wrote the games I see had to come up with code such that, once installed, their game would show up there. That is my end goal. I want the user to be able to find the program I am writing by navigating under the Start menu. Does perl have any facilities to ease this? Can you think of any keywords I can search for? Things like "Add Program to Windows Start Menu" are coming up with "by hand" methods, not script methods. Thanks
