Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] Shipping resources with your exe

I'd find this functionality kinda handy. Loading resources from the exe is very simple, and it would not be too difficult to extend the Win32::GUI::Bitmap, Icon, etc. objects to accept an additional argument that indicates that the resource should be loaded from the exe rather than from a real f
