Indeed.  Kevin Reid posted some example code a while back, and even wrote 
a module Mac::TextViewPane, which provides a set of high-level routines 
for displaying both styled text and graphics in the same window.

Kevin's examples are:

http://www.macperl.com/depts/Code/_kpreid/

<caveat>
Some of Kevin's example's rely on beta versions of the QuickDraw and 
QDOffScreen modules (particularly, "Volve" and MacPerl Fractal Explorer 
(MPFE), which you'll have to get from:

ftp://err.ethz.ch/pub/neeri/MacPerl/Beta/

Furthermore some of Kevin's bleeding-edge examples require the 21May98 
beta release of MacPerl, same location.
</caveat>

another Example is Alan Fry's MPEdit.pm, which is implements a TextEdit 
based editor, along with his "MP Write", which doesn't use TextEdit.

Aside from QuickDraw, there's David Seay's speech examples, and <plug>my 
guest article in this month's PerlMonth</plug>.  The Mac::Speech module 
is straightforward and simple to use, and was really my introduction to 
doing Toolbox calls from MacPerl.
