Depending on what functionality you are looking for from
Perl, there may be libraries out there to do what you
want.  For instance, if you want to do regexp searching
(and can accept a somewhat more limited version of regexp
than offered by Perl) you could get Henry Spencer's regexp
library.  I converted a version of HS regexp to object
format that you might find useful:

<ftp://ftp.metrowerks.com//pub/powerplant/Utility/CHSRegExp.sit.hqx>

I believe there is also a regexp library ported from out
of the Perl code, but, I don't know where it is :-(.

Alternatively, you might try MPW's search command, or BBEdit's
blinding fast search function.  Both of which are AppleScriptable.
