There's always Apple Events of course...
MacPerl::DoAppleScript(<<END_SCRIPT);
make Window
set Name of front Window to "Test"
tell Window "Test"
set bounds to {500, 200, 700, 600}
repeat with i from 1 to 10
set contents of selection to "Line " & i & return
end repeat
end tell
END_SCRIPT
but I don't think there's any way to get a MacPerl window to follow
the text or automatically scroll to the selection.
