thanks to your ppm, this is not a big worry for now.  thank you very
much for your info, though...i was quite confused.

i think i misunderstood what the Win32::GUI module could do, though...i want
to manipulate preexisting windows (of an app i have no source code for)
instead of making my own--specifically i need

GetWindowRect($window_id);

instead of

$mywindow=new Win32::GUI::Window;
$mywindow->GetWindowRect;

does anyone know if such functionality exists in another module or anywhere?

thanks much in advance for your help =)
