Yep.  I was browing through comp.sys.mac.programmer.codewarrior just now
and saw Metrowerks' Greg Bolsinga say this in a message from 12/3:

-----
keyUps are filtered out by default on MacOS. To turn them
on:

::SetEventMask(::LMGetSysEvtMask() | keyUpMask);

See NIM:Mac Toolbox
for explanations.

Unfortunately, I'm stuck on a PC at the moment, so I have no idea of
whether either of the above calls is implemented in MacPerl....
