Question Setting slide show activation to < 5 minutes?

Well, we've got our show booth iMac, and when people aren't going to be looking at a local version of our website, we'll put on a slideshow screensaver of a bunch of products and bullet points and stuff. The minimum time is 5 minutes, but is there a way to bring that down to 1 or 2 minutes? Are there any custom screen savers that have this capability?

testuser, where the heck do you learn those things? You always have some weird UNIX command, where did you learn all that?

That's not a Unix command. It's Perl!

Well, cool! It worked. And all I have to do if I want to revert my settings is slide the activation time bar to where I want it again (I tried - it works).

Question What the heck?

OK, testuser must have deleted his posts or somebody else did, because I know he was here! (See voice-'s post)

He provided a work-around solution for me, and I needed it again (I know, I should have saved the procedure), but testuser's gone!

What happened to him?

All I had was a saved .txt file with the following:
perl -i -pe "s:300:60:" ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.screensaver*
