The perl script works though.

I've set the gnome-power manager to turn the screen off after 10 minutes (the time is actually irrelevant), but the screen will never turn off. It doesn't matter if I have the screensaver set to activate or not. It also doesn't matter how much time I tell the manager to wait before powering down the monitor. The monitor stays on no matter what.
