Coincidentally, I've been working on a similar problem and was very

For example:
my $win=Win32::GUI::Window::CreateFromHandle($handle);
$win->Show; #no problem
$win->Hide; #no problem
$win->SomeControl->Show(); #how would we know a control called
'SomeContol' exists?
A control called 'SomeControl' doesn't exist if this is window created
outside Win32::GUI. Navigating the window tree can't be done like this.
You could already do something like this (untested):
my $win = { -handle => 1234 };
bless $win, "Win32::GUI::Window"; # or other appropriate class
$win->Move( ... ) etc.
You'll need to make sure the you do
$win->{-handle} = undef;
Before $win goes out of scope, to avoid calling the destructor;
although if you're in a different thread to the one that created the
window the DestroyWindow docs say 'A thread cannot use DestroyWindow to
destroy a window created by a different thread' - but don't say what
happens if you try.
