Record or capture? Term::Readkey or Term::InKey will let you capture keystrokes. If you are looking to do stealth keylogging I will leave you on your own for that as most of the uses that spring to mind are illegal, immoral and quite possibly fattening.
What is it you want to actually do?
Details removed by request, even though by way of justification, keylogging in Perl it is essentially too CPU intensive to be practical, and really only of academic interest.
As pointed out to me a cynic might view your collated posts as how can I write worm/trojan code in Perl. If that *is* the question the answer is you don't, which may well be fortunate for all of us. You can do it in under 100 bytes of assembler or alternatively about a MB of VB ;-)

Yes. Yes there is.
In fact, why don't you try it on 127.0.0.1 first, munu? Send your results to the spamkings, spyware writers, and the IRS. I'm sure they would be VERY interested.
*sigh* This world is going downhill so fast. In the good old days, the evil people would actually try to create evil on their own, rather than get other people to do their evil for them. I blame it on the whole uplift phenomenon. Now excuse me, I need to go complain about kids these days with their fax machines and hula hoops ...

I see that poor munu got downvoted for this post, but it is a good question to ask every now and then, just to "raise awareness" of the possibilities. By the way, Bash-3.0 just came out, I'm leary to try it until I see some reports on it from the c gurus. The bad guys are out there, and this may be kind of OT, but someone has been trying to mess with me recently, I think by hacking at Wine. They have managed to create a directory in my homedir, but nothing else. How do I know? Well my instance of Agent running under Wine, locked up, and after I killed it, a myterious directory, full of myterious files appeared. I hate it when that happens. :-)

Of course. Check that STDIN is a terminal, and then read it, and write the results to a file. | [reply] |
