How to change windows resolution using perl?

[Sina]

Hello,

Is there a way to change windows resolution using perl?
I like to change the resolution from 800x600 to 1024x768.

Thank you all

you're asking about serious OS meddling, therefore you'll have to look into some sort of API communication. i've personally never looked at any of this, but there may already be modules for doing this on CPAN. depending on your system, and what coding has already been done to facilitate this, you may only need to call a simple function. if not, you may need to write an extension for the API commands. it's probly already been done, so don't be too afraid. check around on CPAN for your OS suffixed with '::API' maybe? hope this helps some.

There's, what looks like quite good, documentation of Win32::API in the PC distribution of Perl. On my PC it is in the file file://C:\Perl\html\site\lib\Win32\API.html

Doesn't look like easy stuff, but it does look fun. Let us know how you get on -- and I'm going to install it now Mike
