Do you mean Imager::Screenshot? Imager::Search::Screenshot has no
SYNOPSIS that I can see.
To get the color of any pixel should be rather quick with e.g.
Image::Magick or GD. Is getting a screenshot with Imager::Screenshot
taking 12 seconds?

Don't worry about what anybody else is going to do. The best way to
predict the future is to invent it.
