The Win32::GUI GetTextExtentPoint32(...) implementation uses the default system font sizing if you don't tell it what font to use. I think this is not as expected (or intended). Try this instead as a work around: my ($x, $y) = $Label->GetTextExtentPoint32( $string, $Label->GetFont() ); It would be much appreciated if you could raise a bug report for this, as if called as a method against a window without a font specified then I think the implementation should use the window's current font.
