Given a window handle, I want to be able to draw and outline around that window. I can use the GetWindowRect API to get the window coordinates but how do I draw a box around it? 
use strict;
use Win32::API;
my $handle=shift;
my @rect=getWindowRect($handle);
boxWindow(@rect);
###############
sub boxWindow{
    #???
   }
###############
sub getWindowRect {
    my $hwnd = shift || return;
    my $GetWindowRect = new Win32::API("user32", "GetWindowRect", ['N'
+, 'P'], 'N') || return $^E;
    my $RECT = pack("iiii", 0, 0);
    $GetWindowRect->Call($hwnd, $RECT);
    return wantarray ? unpack("iiii", $RECT) : $RECT;
    }
