Dear monks,

I am writing a Perl/Tk application (Perl 5.8.8) and need to change the default image that appears on the upper-left corner of the window with another logo. I have successfully done that in Windows (XP, Vista) using an .ico file with the following code snippet 
$mw = new MainWindow (-title => "My Perl/Tk app");
my $newlogo = $mw->setIcon(-file => $imagedir."logo.ico");

[download]
I need to do the same for a MAC OS X (10.5.6) system. The only fairly relevant information I could find implies a Linux system and suggests to do the following:

1. Take an image (i.e. png, jpeg etc) and convert it into a .xpm
I did this using the convert command of ImageMagick: 
convert logo.png logo.xpm

[download]
2. Try the following code snippet: 
$mw = new MainWindow (-title => "My Perl/Tk app");
my $newlogo = $mw->Photo(-file => $imagedir."logo.xpm", -format => 'xp
+m');
$mw->Icon(-image => $newlogo);

However, the upper-left-corner image still remains the default (actually, in MAC it is not the standard red-ish Tk image that used to appear in Windows systems, but the black and white X11 image). Any suggestions are very welcome!

Thanks in advance,
Athanasia
