Here's the work in progress, I haven't gotten around to printing the input to making sure it is getting what is being typed due to this error but, i'm sure i will mostlikely ask for advice and how one would go about it. 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use diagnostics;

use Win32::API;
my ($hook, $hooker, $idHOOK, $lpfn, $hmod, $dwThreadId);
$idHOOK = 'WH_KEYBOARD_LL';
$lpfn = " " x 80;
$hmod = 0; 
$dwThreadId = 0;

$hook = new Win32::API('user32', 'SetWindowsHookEx', 'LLLL', 'L');
if(not defined $hook) {
        die "Can't import API SetWindowsHookEx: $!\n"
        }
$hooker = $hook->Call($idHOOK, $lpfn, $hmod, $dwThreadId);
#print $hooker;

Here's the error that is spit out.

    (F) You said to do (or require, or use) a file that couldn't be
    found. Perl looks for the file in all the locations mentioned in @
+INC,
    unless the file name included the full path to the file.  Perhaps 
+you
    need to set the PERL5LIB or PERL5OPT environment variable to say w
+here
    the extra library is, or maybe the script needs to add the library
+ name
    to @INC.  Or maybe you just misspelled the name of the file.  See
    perlfunc/require and lib.
