does that's existence mean that perl is useable from cocoa already,
without any extra installations?
That depends on what you mean by "useable from Cocoa." You can use
NSTask to launch Perl scripts from a Cocoa app, just as you can any
other command-line tool. In 10.2 and newer, Apple includes a
PerlObjCBridge module (I think that's the name of it - I have 10.1) you
can use to access Foundation objects from within a Perl script.
To write a full application in Perl, though, you'll need an extra
framework - CamelBones, available at SourceForge
<
http://camelbones.sf.net>.
what is that folder's purpose?
That's where core Perl modules - i.e. the modules Perl ships with - are.
CPAN modules - i.e. any optional modules you install yourself - are
installed in /Library/Perl.
