It's really a complex question, because in X, your window manager will be intercepting many keystrokes. I'm using ICEWM on linux, and CTRL+ALT+RIGHT will cause my virtual desktops to cycle thru. If that is what you are trying to accomplish, look at this pseudocode
use X11::WMCtrl;
foreach my $wrksp (0..9){
$wmctrl->switch($wrksp);

Hey that's the point, I want my wm to intercept the keystrokes :)
I use XGL/Compiz and it's the combination of keys to switch between the faces of the cube.
In fact, I have an IBM T42 laptop with HDAPS, a perlscript allow to record knock and then can be set in listen mode.
(see: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-knockage.html )
The listen mode allow to execute command -> I would like to write a perl script as command (ie. "sendkey.pl left" would rotate my cube left).
Well I'll try what you said but I doubt that it's working with any wm...
Thanks both for your fast replies :)

Hehe thanks for X11::Protocol, I didn't use it (was kinda low level, for the stupid thing that I wanted to do) but it pointed me to:
X11::GUITest
which have a ready made SendKeys :p
