NAME Net::VNC - A simple VNC client SYNOPSIS use Net::VNC; my $vnc = Net::VNC->new({hostname => $hostname, password => $password}); $vnc->login; print $vnc->name . ": " . $vnc->width . ' x ' . $vnc->height . "\n"; my $image = $vnc->capture; $image->save("out.png"); DESCRIPTION Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a desktop sharing system which uses the RFB (Remote FrameBuffer) protocol to remotely control another computer. This module acts as a VNC client and communicates to a VNC server using the RFB protocol, allowing you to capture the screen of the remote computer. This module dies upon connection errors (with a timeout of 15 seconds) and protocol errors. METHODS new The constructor. Given a hostname and a password returns a Net::VNC object: my $vnc = Net::VNC->new({hostname => $hostname, password => $password}); login Logs into the remote computer: $vnc->login; name Returns the name of the remote computer: print $vnc->name . ": " . $vnc->width . ' x ' . $vnc->height . "\n"; width Returns the width of the remote screen: print $vnc->name . ": " . $vnc->width . ' x ' . $vnc->height . "\n"; height Returns the height of the remote screen: print $vnc->name . ": " . $vnc->width . ' x ' . $vnc->height . "\n"; capture Captures the screen of the remote computer, returning an Image::Imlib2 object: my $image = $vnc->capture; $image->save("out.png"); AUTHOR Leon Brocard acme@astray.com Many thanks for Foxtons Ltd for giving me the opportunity to write this module.
