Not the "port" directly, but there's an entire OS X framework that handles
I/O in general, and can do USB specifically.  You'll want to look for
"IOKit" (note that this is all in C, *not* Perl).  I did a little hacking on
this when I was trying to write raw data to an inkjet printer.

It's not easy, though.  There are multiple steps to get to the point where
you have a function that can be used to send data to your USB device.

Just for grins, I'll attach my (not-well-commented) attempt at writing this
little printer driver, just so you can get the flavor of the task.
