Interesting question....not a windows programmer myself but I believe what you are needing to do is catch the interupt event from the mouse, or better yet from mouse and/or keyboard.
did some CPAN searching to see if there was already a module that could do this and SDL::Event seems to have some promise and appears to be quite flexible in the type of events you can capture.
Though I don't know that I would approach this in Perl (crouches as the monks gasp at his heresy)...it does sound like an facinating exercise to try

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
