HI,

Is there a way to get a Windows screen captured from a Perl script ?
Possibly like activating an escape secuence <cntl>+<print Screen> ?

Even better if I can get the final result in jpg format ...
Appreciate help.
Thanks

Think clipboard and search the Win32 modules. As far as jpg goes you would need to use another program to convert a clipboard image (bmp) to jpg format.
