I am trying to build a portable way to communicate to a process via it's window.
 
On the Win32 side, I can send a message to a particular window using Win32::CtrlGUI like this....
 
-------------------------------------------------------
 
use Win32::CtrlGUI;
 
$text = "Some text in the title";     #  (i.e. Notepad, etc.)
 
my $window = Win32::CtrlGUI::wait_for_window(qr/$text/);
$window->send_keys(' "Hello World"{ENTER}');
 
-------------------------------------------------------
 
Is there an equivalent way to do this on the UNIX side?
The two main tasks would be to get the window id or handle based on it's caption text and then to send keystrokes to the window.
 
Thanks for any help.
 
John
