cpan install WWW::Mechanize cpan install Image::Magick
Here is an example Perl script that captures a screenshot of a website:
use strict; use warnings; use WWW::Mechanize; use Image::Magick; # Replace 'https://example.com' with the URL of the website you want to capture my $url = 'https://example.com'; # Initialize Mechanize my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new(); # Open the specified URL $mech->get($url); # Capture the screenshot as HTML content my $html_content = $mech->content(); # Create an Image::Magick object and read the HTML content my $image = Image::Magick->new(); $image->BlobToImage($html_content); # Set the file name for the screenshot my $output_file = 'screenshot.png'; # Write the image to a file $image->Write($output_file); print "Screenshot saved to: $output_file\n";
This script uses `WWW::Mechanize` to fetch the HTML content of the website and `Image::Magick` to convert the HTML content to an image. The resulting image is then saved to a file (in this case, ‘screenshot.png’).
Make sure to have the required modules installed and that you replace the URL and output file name according to your needs. Additionally, consider the legal and ethical aspects of web scraping, and be aware of the terms of service of the website you are interacting with.
