I'm trying to use the SendEvent method from the X11::Protocol module, and I can't seem to get it to work. My thoughts on why are either that:
a) the app I'm sending events to is ignoring them, which doesn't seem likely since xse works fine, or
b) I'm not building the %event hash correctly that gets sent, so the event isn't being executed.

If anyone's ever used the SendEvent method successfully and has any tips, I'd be very grateful. Or if you happen to know where some good documentation for the module is, that would be wonderful as well. (In particular, a better explanation of what exactly needs to be put into an %event hash for correct usage.)

Thanks in advance.
