Hi everyone
I tried to change my perl window's icon by 
use strict;
use warnings;
use diagnostics;
use Win32::GUI();
$|=1;

my $thisWindow = Win32::GUI::GetPerlWindow();
until($thisWindow) #doesn't always work at 1st
{
  #print "Rechecking winID\n";
  sleep 1;
  $thisWindow = Win32::GUI::GetPerlWindow();
  #print 'winID = '.$thisWindow."\n";
}
my $icon = new Win32::GUI::Icon('box.ico');
print "beofre\n";
if(1) #tried if 0 as well
{
  Win32::GUI::ChangeIcon($thisWindow, $icon );
  Win32::GUI::ChangeSmallIcon($thisWindow, $icon );
}else
{
  $thisWindow->ChangeIcon($icon );
  $thisWindow->ChangeSmallIcon($icon );
}
print "after\n";
sleep 5;
exit;

But nothing works.
in the if(0) version it says Can't call method "ChangeIcon" without a package or object referenc
and in the if(1) version, nothing happens (but the prints ^^).
What am I doing wrong ?
Could this have something to do with the fact I'm running in Padre ?
Thx
