I did this to get it working

  $driver->send_keys_to_active_element(KEYS->{'command_meta'}, 't');

But then I'm on a Mac and Firefox wants Meta-T to open a new tab

If you do 

perldoc -l Selenium::Remote::WDKeys

to get the location of the module then look into it it has things like

use constant KEYS => {
    'null'       => "\N{U+E000}",
    'cancel'     => "\N{U+E001}",
    'help'       => "\N{U+E002}",
    'backspace'  => "\N{U+E003}",
    'tab'        => "\N{U+E004}",
    'clear'      => "\N{U+E005}",
    'return'     => "\N{U+E006}",
    'enter'      => "\N{U+E007}",
    'shift'      => "\N{U+E008}",
    'control'    => "\N{U+E009}",

So you might need to use the word 'control' rather than 'Ctrl' and you can pass 't' without using KEYS->

These are the control keys used as per the link in the module http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/JsonWireProtocol#/session/:sessionId/element/:id/value
