Keys can be a problem because of autorepeat, but here's one that uses the left mouse button for the keyer.

my $morse = '';
my $text = '';
my $down = 0;
my $lasttime = time;
my $interval = shift // 0.1; # seconds for timing
my $maxlength = 30;

my $mw = new MainWindow;
$mw->geometry('+500+500');
$mw->Label(-text => "Use left mouse button in green window.\n" .
  "Tweek \$interval to your coding speed")->pack;
my $t = $mw->Label(-textvariable => \$morse,
