in reply to GUITEST module - FindWindow Question

Well, FindWindowText will return undef if it can't find a window that matches the given criteria. So how about doing something like this: 
my $win;
do {
    select(undef, undef, undef, 500);
    $win = FindWindowLike(0, "", "FOO");
} until ($win);

And just replace 500 with the number of milliseconds you'd like to wait between each check.
