Do you really want to save the geometry *every* time the user resizes
the window?  I don't think this is practical.  Why not store it when the
window is closed?  To do that, you can use get_size() and
get_position():

  my ($x, $y) = $window -> get_position();
  my ($width, $height) = $window -> get_size();

Note though that it's usually considered a bad thing to do that.  Window
placement is a task of the window manager.
