Hi [palkia],
&lt;p&gt;I think you want the "/s" switch to the screensaver program.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This works for me, for example (if I'm in the screensaver directory):
&lt;c&gt;
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use warnings;

my $scr = "sspipes.scr";
system("$scr/s");
&lt;/c&gt;
Good luck!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Update&lt;/b&gt;:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Trying it with a random screensaver works too, so it seems /s &lt;i&gt;is&lt;/i&gt; the correct, general solution.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Again (lazily) from within the screensaver directory:
&lt;c&gt;
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use warnings;

my @ss  = glob("*.scr");
my $scr = $ss[rand @ss];

system("$scr/s");
&lt;/c&gt;
&lt;div class="pmsig"&gt;&lt;div class="pmsig-941867"&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;font size="-1"&gt;
&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;say&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;font color="#ffbf3f"&gt;substr&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#c8871a"&gt;+&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#9f4f06"&gt;lc&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#711f79"&gt;crypt&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="black"&gt;(&lt;font color="#a9df2d"&gt;qw&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#4df9ff"&gt;$i3&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#4db2ff"&gt;SI$&lt;/font&gt;),4,5&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/center&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</field>
