With my current code below I am attempting to do the following.
I am stuck and really needing the code to loop back over subroutine ip

1. Get compiled perltray icon code to compile to loop every 30 minutes
2. have 48x48 desktop icon and same 16x16 systray icon compiled once I get the loop working
3. have log file append new entries to the top shifting older entries to the bottom of log file

Thanks to all who reply


#!perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use Time::Piece;
use Win32;
use PerlTray;

&ip;

sub ip {
my $t = localtime;
my $username = Win32::LoginName;
my $output_file = "C:/Users/$username/Dropbox/My_IP.txt";

my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
$ua->agent('Mozilla/5.0');

my $response = $ua->get("http://automation.whatismyip.com/n09230945.as
+p");
my $content = $response->content;

open(my $output_fh, '>>', $output_file)
    or die "You may not have dropbox installed failed to open - $outpu
+t_file $!";
    
print {$output_fh} "Your IP address is $content at $t\n";
close $output_fh;

}

sub Timer { sleep 10; \&ip }

sub PopupMenu {
    return [
        ['Refresh', \&ip],
        ['Exit', 'exit']
    ];
}

sub ToolTip {"MyIP_2_Dropbox"}
