Hello

I created an exe file with Par::Packer Version 1.006. Because the icon creation failed I was trying to do this manually with the Win32::Exe module Version 0.14.

But here I get the same problem.

use strict;
use warnings;

use Win32::Exe;
my $exe = Win32::Exe->new('test.exe');

$exe = $exe->create_resource_section if !$exe->has_resource_section;

$exe->update( icon => 'test.ico',
              gui => 1);
$exe->write('another.exe');

It is not possible to create a resource section.

I get the following errors:

No resource section found in file test.exe at C:/Perl/site/lib/Win32/E
+xe.pm line 348.
No resource section found in file test.exe at C:/Perl/site/lib/Win32/E
+xe.pm line 348.
Can't call method "remove" on an undefined value at C:/Perl/site/lib/W
+in32/Exe.pm line 473.

I'm using Perl 5.10.1 from Activestate on a Windows XP

Thank you for your help

Greetings

Dirk
