I think your subject is misleading, so I am not entirely sure what you
mean.  You want to pass file names from AppleScript into MacPerl, not
MacPerl to AppleScript, right?

If so, call DoScript with a list:

  set myFolder to "7500HD:Desktop Folder:newtest_folder:"
  set myFilename to "blogs"

  tell application "MacPerl"
    Do Script ["MacPerl::Reply(join '|', @ARGV)", myFolder, myFilename]
  end tell
