A simple method of doing a screen capture on Windows.
For a more flexible approach see Win32::Screenshot
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Win32::Clipboard;
use Win32::GuiTest 'SendKeys';
# Send "Print Screen" key to Windows.
SendKeys('{PRTSCR}');
# Get the image from the clipboard.
my $screen = Win32::Clipboard::GetBitmap()
or die "No image captured: $!\n";
# Print the image to a file.
open BITMAP, "> screen.bmp" or die "Couldn't open bitmap file: $!\n
+";
binmode BITMAP;
print BITMAP $screen;
close BITMAP;
__END__
#
# Or to capture a specific Window:
#
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Win32::Clipboard;
use Win32::GuiTest qw(FindWindowLike SetForegroundWindow SendKeys);
# Find a specific Window
my @windows = FindWindowLike(0, qr/^Microsoft Excel/, qr/^XLMAIN$/);
for (@windows) {
SetForegroundWindow($_);
SendKeys('%{PRTSCR}'); # Alt Print Screen
}
# Get the image from the clipboard.
my $screen = Win32::Clipboard::GetBitmap()
or die "No image captured: $!\n";
# Print the image to a file.
open BITMAP, "> screen.bmp" or die "Couldn't open bitmap file: $!\n
+";
binmode BITMAP;
print BITMAP $screen;
close BITMAP;
__END__

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
