How to set window's icon in Perl to some .ico file on Windows 7?

Question

I was using TK::Icon with Perl 5.8.3 32bit, but it's not supported with Perl 5.10.1 64bit. When I try to install it through ppm, I get:

C:>ppm install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/Tk-Icon.ppd

ppm install failed: The PPD does not provide code to install for this platform

Is there any other way to do it?

Alexander: Your advice really helped! I asked J-L from bribes.org to build the module for Perl64bit and he did so :). Thanks — Igor, Aug 15 '11 at 19:44

As Alexandr suggested, I asked J-L from bribes.org to build the module for Perl64bit and he did so.

So now the icon can be set with TK::Icon also on Perl 64bit.

The ppm install command is:

ppm install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm64/Tk-Icon.ppd
