in reply to System tray application

PROBLEM SOLVED (at least for Win32):

You should run the Win32::SysTray application via wperl.exe and there you are! Wperl.exe creates neither a new window nor a taskbar icon.

    Or you could use  Win32::SetChildShowWindow( 0 );

    Oh the circles, they're so round :D

      This idea failed to come to me because I've used wperl.exe with Tk apps which ultimately open a window and therefore create a taskbar icon. So I did not associate 'wperl.exe' with 'no taskbar icon' in my mind only with 'no window'.
