This is very encouraging

Well, trying to change the icon on a console is kind of a weird thing to do :)

I tired both wx and gtk2 but I got tired of trying to figure out why both won't work. If I remember correctly, it was some install problem or something. So if you got alternatives to offer, please exclude these 2.

Yeah, I'd go with Wx, it comes with dwimperl/citrusperl, and is available via ppm for activeperl or any ppm capable perl

FWIW, Gtk2 is available via some PPM::Repositories, but I prefer Wx
