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");
