perlpdk->perltray->variables->perltray::TOOL

How can this variable be changed?  
I would like users to see my application name during
mouseover, rather
than PerlTray, to avoid confusion.

The documentation shows this can also be accessed via the
PerlApp::
namespace, but, so far, I have had no luck changing it.

A short example would be appreciated.

The $PerlApp::TOOL variable is only used to indicate the
current
execution environment.  This can be useful if you have a
library
that is used both in a PerlApp and a PerlTray application,
and
you want to write to STDERR when called in your PerlApp
app,
but display a messagebox when called in the PerlTray one.

You can change the text of the tooltip by providing a
ToolTip
callback that returns the string to be displayed.  The
included sample app uses:

    sub ToolTip 

This will display the current date and time in your
tooltip.

Due to a bug this is not working in PerlTray 6.0.2.  You can
add
the following line to work around this bug:

    *PerlTray::ToolTip = &ToolTip;

This workaround is not necessary for any other version of
PerlTray,
including PerlTray 7.0.

Cheers,
