Sometimes. I'm not really sure what your original question is asking though - do you mean changing which application has focus in a desktop environment, or changing which program is running on a command line, or something else? It sounds like you might want to script the window manager or desktop environment - that's going to work differently on each WM/DE combination - consult the WM and DE docs for initial info, see if they have Perl bindings.
