I think you'll be working too hard to make this work using Perl. I'd be inclined to either use a Windows screensaver with password protection or look for a freeware program designed to do this. Keeping a shell window open just to keep this Perl program running seems like an inelegant solution.

    Nobody is forcing you to have a shell window open ;)(you can do so using wperl, or by running said program as a service -- on win32 of course)

    MJD says "you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo!"
    I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).
