Short answer: I think so, but not quite in an optimal way.

It should be possible to attach an AppleScript stating

tell application "MacPerl" to do script file "xyzzy"

or

tell application "MacPerl" to do script "print 'hello world'"

Unfortunately, the MacPerl/OSA project went nowhere, so it is not possible
to attach MacPerl scripts directly.
