Anyone tried Pashua?
http://www.bluem.net/downloads/pashua_en/
Pashua is a tool for creating simple, but native Aqua GUIs for Perl, PHP, Python, Tcl, Rexx and shell scripts as well as AppleScript.
It was easy set up and it does work although I hardly use it at all.

Funny enough, the thought crossed my mind while writing Perl components to some of my AS libraries [1] that at least some of the AS language's performance/feature shortcomings could be significantly eased by embedding a Perl interpreter in the AS engine, thus making it relatively straightforward to implement AS library functions as reasonably efficient wrappers around Perl code.

This was a great many moons ago, mind you. I've had a lot better ideas since then, and aren't interested in pursuing the Perl thing myself given I rarely use AS now. As a quick-n-dirty "fix" for the benefit of existing AS users an osax-based AS-to-Perl bridge could still be worth a shot though. I'd suggest anyone considering it check out the work by Chris Nandor et-al on Mac::AppleEvents and Mac::Glue for potential bridge-building materiel: <http://search.cpan.org/~cnandor/>; lots of juicy stuff for converting between Apple event and Perl types, for example.
