There is a perl module on CPAN by another Nebel. It's not all of AppleScript but it does allow you to send and receive the Apple Events that are the guts of AppleScript. The object-oriented calls makes it difficult to find the right event codes because the module doesn't access application dictionaries the way Script Editor does.
It's also easy, but slow, to invoke Apple's osascript tool with perl's backtick (``) quotes operators.
The thing that's missing is an easy way, without third party addins, to use things like perl regular expressions and hashed lists from within AppleScript.
