How to size it to the Desktop (don't know about the entire screen):

Win32::GUI::GetDesktopWindow()
Returns the handle of the desktop window.

GetClientRect()
Returns a four elements array defining the windows client area rectangle 
(left, top, right, bottom) or undef on errors.

GetWindowRect()
Same, but I think it's the outside.

This should get you the values you want:
my ($left, $top, $right, $bottom) =
         Win32::GUI::GetClientRect( Win32::GUI::GetDesktopWindow() );


If you don't want any title bar and border (remember the Exit button :), 
this is an old post on the subject:

If you use The GUI Loft you can easily do this by setting the Window 
property DialogBox to "Borderless" (it uses the class described below).


If not, you can use the class Win32::GUI::BorderlessWindow when you create 
your Window (it uses the technique described below). It's available in The 
GUI Loft source distro, in the PPM\AdHoc\lib\Win32\GUI directory.

Or, if you're more of a copy-paste kind of guy, set the style to

-style => 0x80000000,           #WS_POPUP

when you create your Win32::GUI::Window object.
