Most OSes have some sort of binding for perl: Win32::GUIRobot, Tk, etc. just take a look at what's available on CPAN. Do you really need to physically move the cursor, though? If all you need to to is follow links, fill out forms, etc., take a look at WWW::Mechanize. Mech is the standard way of doing what you seem to want, unless you're actually performing GUI testing.
