Perl provides all the usual methods of interprocess communication (IPC) that
you would find in other common programming languages.
If your target application accepts those IPC methods, then you can do it in
Perl. If they don't then you can't do it in any programming language.
Just check which IPC is supported by your target application and then check
CPAN for a suitable module.

Check out the the Win32::* modules on CPAN. You can use them to drive
Windows apps, including sending text to their controls.
