A modern operating system contains, among other things, an immense amount of code for the purpose of managing the event-driven GUIs that most fancy-schmancy modern applications use for graphically interfacing with... well, users. Using Perl (or any other language I'm aware of) to interface with these system drivers and thus to control an application is like trying to figure out a way to do neurosurgery by mounting scalpels on several dirigibles and then building a radio-control system to use them to operate on a patient in an operating theater set up in the middle of a football stadium.
In other words, this sounds like an XY Problem. What do you really want to do?

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).

are good places to start.
