If you are using Unix X, do like that:
$main->iconbitmap("this_one");
But if you are using win32, you can't unless
you use a tool like "Perl2exe" to convert your script in exe
and remove the Tk icon from the Tk.dll **before** compilation.
You can remove the icon with tool like "MicroAngelo" and set
another. They must be 16 colors, 32*32 and 16*16.
I do that usualy for win32 customers, it works well:)

Hi everyone,

I am using UNIX, and when I try to assign a bitmap to the mainwindow's
icon, perl gives me an error:

format error in bitmap data at /.../Tk/Image.pm line 21.

I assume that this means that I am trying to use a bitmap of the wrong
variety - what format should it take?

Cheers,

Jonathan Davies.

X11 XBM format, not Win32 BMP format.

Or use Icon() for a color icon ...

I tried the Icon() thing, but it didn't work with KDE...(no error but no effect)
What is wrong with this code ?

$w_mw->Icon( -image => $w_mw->Pixmap(-file => "xyz.xpm"));
