I don't think this will work. That is unless you call some API
functions to allow this type of "imput" to affect the screensaver.
Anyway you should be able to disable screensaver by Win32 API
function SystemParametersInfo()
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-
us/sysinfo/base/systemparametersinfo.asp
You may call this function using Win32::API (installable by PPM),
Look up the SPI_SETSCREENSAVEACTIVE option in the docs above.
