I'd like to do a screen capture the active window on a Win32 OS, an Internet Explorer window to be specific, and ulitimately save it as a GIF.

Right now I'm doing that by launching a screen capture program with Win32::Process::Create and sending it the appropriate keystrokes to capture the window with the send_keys method of its Win32::CtrlGUI::Window object.

Kind of clunky. Since Windows has a built in Screen Capture and active window capture to the clipboard (ALT+PrintScrn), I'd like to use that. But how do I do it? What "window" would I be sending the keystrokes to? And even then, the send_keys method doesn't seem to support the "PrintScrn" key.

Getting it out of the clipboard and saving it as a GIF I can deal with later :) Does anyone happen to know, does the ImageMagick module support LZW gifs these days?

This is ultimately going to be a web service for non Win32 Web developers who need to see what their sites look like in Internet Explorer on Windows.
