X11::WMCtrl

If you're looking for a command line tool that allows you to interact with an EWMH/NetWM compatible X Window Manager, look no further than wmctrl. This powerful program provides command line access to almost all of the features defined in the EWMH specification. With this tool, you can obtain information about the window manager, get a detailed list of desktops and managed windows, switch and resize desktops, change the number of desktops, make windows full-screen, always-above, or sticky, and activate, close, move, resize, maximize, and minimize them.

One of the great things about wmctrl is that it has a simple wrapper module called X11::WMCtrl. This module makes it even easier to use the program and access its many features. Additionally, installation of this module is a breeze. Just type the following commands: perl Makefile.PL, make, make test, and make install.

Overall, wmctrl is a fantastic tool that should be in every software enthusiast's arsenal. Whether you're a developer looking to interact with a window manager or simply someone who loves playing around with different desktop configurations, this program is definitely worth checking out. Plus, with the recent release of version 2.0 which includes fixes for typos in the docs, it's better than ever!
