Want Microsoft Windows screen scraping code

[Kevin Cline]

I want to do some really low-level screen scraping. Is there any
module that will read the pixels from a Microsoft Windows window?

CPAN is your friend:

http://perl.com/CPAN/modules/01modules.index.html

Look for stuff with "Win32" and "Screenshot" or similar in it.

If all else faiuls, look into the Windows API. Win32::API is the
canonical module to interface to it.

Just stay away from the "new interface" for this module. Though it looks
appealing, I've had nothing but trouble with it (crashes).

Thanks, all else did fail. I'll take a look there and see if I can
figure anything out. If I do, then I'll submit it to CPAN.
