I am not sure this is possible, but I want to somehow write to stdio or some such and make a perl script that will press enter on a timer. This is for a windows application that I have to mindlessly babysit. (and that I can't launch as a child process)
This is what I am using currently to tell me when to hit enter....
while (true) {
print"\n$t"
$t=$t-1
sleep(1);
if($t<0) {
print "press enter NOW";
#TODo - hit enter automagically
$t = $timerlength; #reset
}
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
