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

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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
