hi there
i'm a beginner in perl, and i was just wondering how can i get about
coding a keylogger in perl. Can some one help me?
i was'nt really sure how to track the keyboard signals, i think i can
strace it but i'm clueless.
thanx in advance

P.S:
before you guys start chiding about the wrong place discuss this,
PLEASE who in his right mind would code a keylogger in perl

No idea, but have you checked the FAQ yet?
perldoc -q keyboard
How do I do fancy stuff with the keyboard/screen/mouse?

Starting off your post by being defensive and assuming those willing
and able to help you are about to "chide" you is rarely likely to make
anyone want to help you. Think a little before you post.

I have no idea what that means. What does the choice of language have
to do with anything?

thanx for replying!
this is a white hat group (or I think ) ;-). I really expected someone
to thrash me for asking about keyloggers, thus the defensive stance.
Besides chiding is affectionate right!

what i meant by that line was that perl does'nt generate a executable
like other langauges. So obviously the target system needs the perl
interpreter to be present which is a stupid assumption to make. so that
more or less rules out the possibility of my intentions being
malicious!
i hope that explains it to you
