Helmut: I don't know if you have posted to this mailing list before, but if I haven't introduced myself, let me extend greetings and a warm welcome!
It looks like Larry and Jukka may have answered some of your questions. I don't know how practical it is to call Perl from OpenJUMP, or visa-versa. There may be some Perl-to-Java bridge or language bindings, but I am not aware of them. An easier way is to code your plug-in GUI in Swing. Swing can be a challenge (especially laying out your GUI) but it is likely the best route and it is what the other developers use. I like to use the JGoodies FormsLayout for most of my GUI work: http://www.jgoodies.com/freeware/forms/ We can help you with coding a GUI for your first plug-in. This will at least get you started on how to learn Swing. You can also look here: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/ But the first step, as Jukka pointed out, is to see if the functionality you need is already in OpenJUMP. Get back to this mailing list if you still think you need to write a plug-in and we will try to provide some direction.
