I hate to bring back a nearly 6 month old thread, but is there some
sort of trick to getting Win32::GUI to find icons bundled with a
pp-built .exe?
I built one using "pp script.pl -o script.exe -a icon.ico" but the
icon only displays properly if there's a copy of it in the same
directory as the executable; if the .exe file is moved to another
directory it can't find the icon which should be bundled.

I've got some code in Win32::GUI::SplashScreen that attempts to work
with PAR packed icon/bitmap files. I think it used to work, but it's
pretty old.
There's a comment that says:
# try to load the splash image from the PAR_TEMP directory
# this is for exes built with PAR's pp -a xxxxx.bmp ...
And then goes on to do something equivalent to:
my $file = 'icon.ico';
my $path = '.';
$path = $ENV{PAR_TEMP} . "/inc" if exists $ENV{PAR_TMP};
my $icon = Win32::GUI::Icon->new("$path/$file");
I'd be interested to know if it still works :-)

Aparantly :) Or Apparently :)
But in a PAR context, there is little incentive to do that, vs. bundling
the file into the pp-built .exe
OK, I admit to bringing up the PAR context, but if you are looking to
bundle everything into a single file for easier distribution, PAR goes a
lot further toward that goal than BitmapInline :)

This was on my "to-find-out" list :) Can you use DIBitmap for inline icons?

anyone knows how I can replace the camel logo on the
Main window with my smily face ?

Assuming $mw points to the main window, use
$my_smily_face_icon = new Win32::GUI::Icon( $iconfile );
$mw->SetIcon ( $my_smily_face_icon );
