My manual says that there is a way but only by using the shell, now that would be very old fashioned for such a sophisticated language.
Notwithstanding how "old fashioned" using the shell may seem to you, or even actually be, a CLI shell is still the best way, and the most efficient one, for one to work in many circumstances, and in fact the "sophistication" of a language like Perl has nothing to do with the ability of the OS it's run on to call it by clicking on a fancy icon in a GUI, indeed "simplicity is the essence of happiness" and believe it or not advanced users tend to prefer shell based environments. Actually there are now desktop environments for *NIX osen which imitate and even go far beyond Windows' bells-and-whistles-ness, but even there people often has a bunch of terminal emulators open to do, well, stuff.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
