in reply to Windows 98: track the current user's idle time

You may want to check MSDN but I recommend searching it using Google and using the "site:msdn.microsoft.com" as a search term since MSDN is a beast to navigate. It's a great resource for that hard-to-find obfuscated Microsoft documentation though.

See what comes up

Once you find something that works, I think you will be able to load and execute the functions using Win32::API. Note that I've never called new functions never-before-made-to-Perl using Win32::API, but it appears to work from examples other monks have used. I do a lot of Win32 coding for work in C++, just not in Perl (dang it).

update: The link posted at top shows what you need to do.
