It can be done using an XFCN or DCMD.

In fact, there should be a copy of "Clipboard.XFCN" on the MacPerl CD-ROM.

Yup, tight along with this example of how to use it:

#!perl -w
package Dartmouth;
MacPerl::LoadExternals("Clipboard.XFCN");

#Clipboard.XFCN is located in the same folder as this script

package main;
Dartmouth::Clipboard("D'oh!");
print Dartmouth::Clipboard(), "\n";
