I think you may be looking for the wrong solution for your problem.
Instead of writing code that switches the keyboard layout depending on
the status of the caps lock key, why don't you write and install a
single keyboard layout that behaves as you want?
I think <http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2002/tn2056.html>
and
<http://scripts.sil.org/ukelele>
should provide sufficient information
for achieving what you want.
