I'm hoping there is a good, general solution for multilingual text input,
maybe an extension to Readline::Perl.
If you want a good, general solution, there probably is one: the operating
system you are using right now.
Try this: change your locale and/or keyboard setting to Spanish. Then, type.
Of course what you see might not match what is printed on your keycaps, but
then you just need a keyboard chart for the layout you've chosen.
Generally this sort of thing needs to be handled below Readline or TK or
whatever. If it's not, for your platform, you are probably SOL unless you
are really into coding keyboard drivers or input methods/front end
processors. In that case you are a god and need no further assistance :-).
Good luck!
