You know, I was hoping for the same thing, with code like this:

    $window = new Win32::GUI::Window( -name   => '_Window',
                                      -text   => $SETTINGS->{app}->{name},
                                      -left   => ($screen_width - 600)/2,
                                      -top    => ($screen_height - 400)/2,
                                      -width  => 480, -height => 400,
                                      -menu   => $menu_bar,
                                      -class  => $hwnd_class,
                                      -icon   => $icon,
                                      -maximizebox => 0
                                    );

Unfortunately, that dims the maximize box so that it doesn't work, but 
still allows people to resize the window by the grab-an-edge-and-pull 
routine. I haven't figured out how to disable that. It's probably simple.
