Hi, I don't use windows and didn't write this, but here is a snippet posted recently, it may give you a head start.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

#The function name is defined as "Win32::GUI::NotifyIcon".
#You will need to be carefull about the order of your sub...
#Here a sample script to let's you see, just choose a nice win32 ico a
+nd
#name it god.ico in the same dir from where you will launch this scrip
+t:
#---------------

BEGIN{
use Win32::Console;
Win32::Console::Free();
}

use Win32::GUI;
use Tk;

$mw = MainWindow -> new;
$mw -> wm('geometry', '0x0+0+0');
$mw->overrideredirect(1);
&do_win32_stuff;
MainLoop;

#--------------------------------

sub do_win32_stuff{

$mw_win32 = new Win32::GUI::DialogBox(
-width   => 0,
-height  => 0,
-name    => 'MainWindow');

$icon = new Win32::GUI::Icon('god.ico');

new Win32::GUI::NotifyIcon(
$mw_win32,
-name => "Notify",
-id => 1,
-icon => $icon,
-tip => "I\'am in the Systray!");

$call = Win32::GUI::Dialog();

$mw_win32->Notify->Delete(-id => 1);

sub Notify_Click{
&my_menu;
}
}

#--------------------------------

sub my_menu{
$popup = $mw->Menu(Name => 'popupMenu', -tearoff => 0);
$popup->command(-label   => 'Number 1',-command => [\&do_label,1] );
$popup->command(-label   => 'Number 2',-command => [\&do_label,2]);
$popup->separator;
$popup->command(-label => 'Number 3', -command => [\&do_label,3]);
$popup->command(-label => 'Number 4', -command => [\&do_label,4]);
$popup->command(-label => 'Number 5', -command => [\&do_label,5]);
$popup->separator;
$popup->command(-label => 'Quit', -command => [ \&stop]);
$popup->Popup(-popover => 'cursor', -popanchor => 'nw');
}

#--------------------------------

sub stop{
exit;
}

#--------------------------------

sub do_label{
if(Exists($top)){
$label-> configure(-text => "I\'am $_[0]");
} else {
$top = $mw ->Toplevel;
$top->title(" Numbers");
$top->focus;
$label = $top->Label (-text => "I\'am $_[0]",
-relief => 'groove',
-width => '24')->pack;
}
