Please advise if there is a script or something in Perl where I can run something every 10 minutes to prevent my screensaver from coming on. I work in a place that automatically turns screensaver on after 15 minutes of inactivity on the Windows NT workstation. I can not change the setting so was hoping to kick off some script to make the screensaver not come on every 15 minutes. Should I just put a Perl script like this: 
print "Just run";

and put it in a Task Scheduler? Then a DOS window would pop up every 10 minutes to stop the screensaver? Can I make the DOS pop up window really small and pop up in lower left corner?? Any of this possible??
