Basically, here's what I've got so far. I've got a perl script which will be run remotely, by many networked computers simultaneously (dozen+). I've been testing the script to verify that it works - and it works great, at least for one computer. I haven't tested multiple computers as I don't have them available to me as of right now (and since it's a race condition, even if I run the tests it may not even show up). So, what I'd like to know is if running the following code would have the possibility of a race condition (send the keys to the wrong window):

... (unnecessary code)

my @windows = FindWindowLike(0, "$uniquename", "");
for (@windows)
{
      SetForegroundWindow($_);
      SendKeys("^{CAPS}");
}

... (unnnecessary code)

Each window being tested will have a unique name, so FindWindowLike will be returning exactly the window I want (silly for loop, I know). So could it send it to the wrong window? If so, what could one way be of fixing this, perhaps WaitWindow?
