    Oh another *"Did not work"* error message. We're seeing these so often I think there must be a fundamental error in the basics of computer science that affects all software on all machines. – Borodin Dec 05 '16 at 10:32

    @Borodin as I said below, I think this needs hammering. Would you do the honors? – simbabque Dec 05 '16 at 10:33

    @simbabque: Sorry, I don't have a hammer with me. Voted to close instead. – Borodin Dec 05 '16 at 10:35

    You could look into a Perl driver for PhantomJS - I've done this in PHP and it works very well. – halfer Dec 05 '16 at 11:00

    @halfer: [WWW::Mechanize::PhantomJS](https://metacpan.org/pod/WWW::Mechanize::PhantomJS#mech-content_as_png-coordinates) also has `content_as_png` method :) – Chankey Pathak Dec 05 '16 at 11:11

There are plenty. Did you even try to search it on CPAN? A simple search containing "screenshot" as search string.

Did you search about it on StackOverflow itself? See the below question which lists many ways to do it.

How can I take screenshots of webpages with Perl?

Simplest approach would be to use WWW::Mechanize::Firefox module's $mech->content_as_png method.

mail it to someone on weekly basis

Again, there are plenty of Email:: modules available on CPAN. Pick the one you like.
