Your code works for me:
Code:
[~] 0 $ type ord ; type chr
ord ist eine Funktion.
ord () 
{ 
    printf '%d' "'$1";
    return 0
}
chr ist eine Funktion.
chr () 
{ 
    printf "\\$(printf '%03o' "$1")";
    return 0
}
[~] 0 $  ord $(chr 97)
97[~] 0 $

EDIT:
Letters do not start at 0 or 1... but much later Smilie

Prima::KeySelector(3)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				     Prima::KeySelector(3)

NAME
Prima::KeySelector - key combination widget and routines DESCRIPTION
The module provides a standard widget for selecting a user-defined key combination. The widget class allows import, export, and modification of key combinations. The module provides a set of routines, useful for conversion of a key combination between representations. SYNOPSIS
my $ks = Prima::KeySelector-> create( ); $ks-> key( km::Alt | ord('X')); print Prima::KeySelector::describe( $ks-> key ); API
Properties key INTEGER Selects a key combination in integer format. The format is described in "Hot key" in Prima::Menu, and is a combination of "km::XXX" key modifiers and either a "kb::XXX" virtual key, or a character code value. The property allows almost, but not all possible combinations of key constants. Only "km::Ctrl", "km::Alt", and "km::Shift" modifiers are allowed. Methods All methods here can ( and must ) be called without the object syntax; - the first parameter must not be neither package nor widget. describe KEY Accepts KEY in integer format, and returns string description of the key combination in human readable format. Useful for supplying an accelerator text to a menu. print describe( km::Shift|km::Ctrl|km::F10); Ctrl+Shift+F10 export KEY Accepts KEY in integer format, and returns string with a perl-evaluable expression, which after evaluation resolves to the original KEY value. Useful for storing a key into text config files, where value must be both human readable and easily passed to a program. print export( km::Shift|km::Ctrl|km::F10); km::Shift|km::Ctrl|km::F10 shortcut KEY Converts KEY from integer format to a string, acceptable by "Prima::AbstractMenu" input methods. print shortcut( km::Ctrl|ord('X')); ^X translate_codes KEY, [ USE_CTRL = 0 ] Converts KEY in integer format to three integers in the format accepted by "KeyDown" in Prima::Widget event: code, key, and modifier. USE_CTRL is only relevant when KEY first byte ( "KEY & 0xFF" ) is between 1 and 26, what means that the key is a combination of an alpha key with the control key. If USE_CTRL is 1, code result is unaltered, and is in range 1 - 26. Otherwise, code result is converted to the character code ( 1 to ord('A'), 2 to ord('B') etc ). AUTHOR
