In the same way that you can run AppleScript.

You might find DialogDirector covers most of your needs.

I don't know of one personally, and I'd stick with Chris' answer here 
too - ask the RealBasic people.

You should be able to do what you want with RealBasic.  I can think 
of a few ways:
1) Create a RealBasic frontend that is scriptable, and use 
AppleScript from perl to talk to it.
2) Create a perl script that is scriptable, and use AppleScript from 
RealBasic to talk to it.
3) Use AppleScript to send perl scripts from RealBasic to MacPerl. 
("inline" perl, as it were).

On a slightly different topic, has anyone embedded perl into a Cocoa app?
