This sounds like it might be more interesting than my little hack I use to do screenshots when I
am doing tech support for my mom ...

use Win32::Clipboard;

$CLIP = Win32::Clipboard();

$CLIP->Empty();

while(1){
	$CLIP->WaitForChange();
	if(    $CLIP->IsBitmap() ) {
		$image = $CLIP->GetBitmap();
 		$file_name = $file_number++ . ".bmp";
 		print $file_name . "\n";
		open    BITMAP, ">$file_name";
		binmode BITMAP;
		print   BITMAP $image;
		close   BITMAP;
	}
}
