on_osc_seq_perl is definitely being called, otherwise it couldn't have
been forwarded to your tab_osc_seq_perl from urxvt::ext::tabbedex::tab.

I am not sure what you are trying to do - you can create a new tab with a
speciifc program inside, or you can send keypresses to the programs/shell
running inside an existing tab. urxvt doesn't control the shell.

for all that, you'd have to write code to do it.

That strongly depends on the exqct problem you are trying to solve. If the
tab is guaranteed to run a shell at the moment that is expecting fresh
comamnd input this you can just feed it "mycommand\r" via tt_write for
example.

The cleaner way would be to start a new tab running the command you want to
run.
