in reply to Screen Scraping?

Just go ahead and try it - WWW::Mechanize seems to be the right tool for the job.

But please make sure to read the casino's Terms of Service before doing anything, because they might forbid something like that (and you should respect that). There might be privacy concerns as well.

    Thanks for the response, but, not exactly what I'm looking for. The Mechanize part is what I need for getting the other player's info from another website.

    When sitting at the table, (in particular, party poker) it's an actual graphic-based screen. I was wondering if there was a way to actually interface with the software to get that, or is there a way perl can actually read what is on my screen.

    Thanks again!

      You have to be much more specific than that, else I just say that there exist tools and modules for inspecting and automating GUI applications, and it depends.
