Actually you can put images into Win32::Clipboard but the gotcha is that if your screen depth is set to 32bit and NOT 24bit, the resulting BMP is not valid for most apps.

I have some ugly code to fix 32bit BMPs to 24bit, let me know if you want to see it.

as for the code to put a screenshot into the clipboard, see below

use strict;

use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::Clipboard;
use Win32::GuiTest qw(FindWindowLike GetWindowText SetForegroundWindow
+ SendKeys);

my $ie;
my $image;

# use existing instance if Internet Explorer is already running
eval {$ie = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('InternetExplorer.Application'
+)};
die "IE not installed" if $@;

unless (defined $ie) {
  $ie = Win32::OLE->new('InternetExplorer.Application', sub {$_[0]->Qu
+it;})
          or die "Oops, cannot start IE";
}

$ie->{Visible} = 1;

# get the handle and use it to force IE to the foreground
SetForegroundWindow($ie->HWND);

# use send keys
# How Do I Maximise The Current Window, Without Using The Mouse?
# Press (SHIFT + ALT + SPACEBAR) then press X 

SendKeys("%+{SPACEBAR}{PAUSE 5}X");

# How do I get a screen grab, use Print Screen to grab entire screen
# use ALT + PRTSCR to get current window or dialog NOT screen !
SendKeys("%{PRTSCR}");

$image = Win32::Clipboard::GetBitmap();

# $image now contains your .BMP
