Screenshot of webpage
Hello,
I have been trying to find some info on creating a screenshot of a webpage using Perl and/or Perl modules and if it's possible to do. IE. a URL is entered, and then create a small screenshot, a small thumbnail image, of the webpage.
I was hoping that someone here maybe able to steer me to some information on this, if infact it's feasible with Perl.
TIA,

Thanks Displeaser.
I've been looking for something similar myself and this fit the bill. Everything installed easily and it worked perfectly for me. I even liked it enough to whip up a quick blog entry, Automated web screen shots with Perl, with a screen shot.
It seems a lot more involved then the module mentioned above. Would be an interesting project for someone to try write a cross OS version, ie works on both linux & windows.

LOL? Maybe I've missed the joke somewhere.
Not Perl but executable from the command-line which makes it usable from a Perl program:
1) khtml2png - uses the KHTML engine to create a PNG image of the page in question
2) Pearl Crescent Page Saver - a Firefox extension that adds a command-line option to save a page as a PNG image (Using the Gecko rendering engine, obviously).
Del.icio.us
Digg
Google
Spurl
Blink
Furl
Simpy
Y! MyWeb
