Yes.

OpenResFile().
use Mac::Resources;
use Mac::Memory;
OpenResFile("Bourque:Desktop Folder:Shuck") or die $^E;
my $resid = Get1Resource('PICT', 128);
print $resid->size;
CloseResFile(CurResFile());

I believe you can call existing resources. For example, Mac::Dialogs has this:
PORT = GetNewDialog ID [, BEHIND]
I've never played much with that, though.
