I wrote something that used AppleEvents to communicate between two
applications. It was so that when machine A found a virus it could alert
machine B.

My rough notes _may_ help (this is AppleScript, not Perl):

The alerting machine used the AppleScript:

tell application "<whatever>" of machine "<chooser name>"
    VirusAlert()
end tell

and the receiving machine has an AppleScript, written using ScriptEditor
and saved as an application and always running, which contained:

on VirusAlert()
    display dialog "Virus alert on other Mac"
end VirusAlert
