Now, I can use something like Win32::Process::Info to get some basic info... but not the window title (although, that module seems to be rather unreliable anyway).

How is it unreliable?

...but I would think there'd have to be a 'native perl' -way to do it?

Why? If Win32::Process::Info is not native, is Win32::GuiTest 'native'? Win32::OLE?

I've scoured through CPAN and had a look through the Monks' site but have had no joy.

How To Read Win32 Window Title Text
How can I fetch text from Windows Title Bars?

I would appreciate any thoughts on a 'more elegant' means to approach the problem.

:) Thats one of those in the eye of the beholder deals, my definition: does it do what I want? does it save me work?
