How to have a Perl script emulate a keystroke to another application

Hello all,
Here's the proposed setup so you better understand the situation:

I have a Windows pc with Apache web server, ActiveState Perl, and
WinDVD sofware.
I have a handheld device that supports a browser (pocketPC, NintendoDS,
etc.)

I want to use that handheld device to send commands via a website to
server-side perl scripts. Those perl scripts in turn will emulate a
key stroke in the DVD software, and thus pausing, stoping, playing,
navigating a movie. Basically, a programmable remote.

It's all good except for emulating the keystrokes to the DVD software
from the perl script. Does anyone have any thoughts how I can do this?

Oh, and as far as I can tell WinDVD doesn't take in command arguments.

Thanks for any help.
