1) What is the role of Perl in testing?

It's a programming language.
People use perl to test programs written in perl.
Since perl's testing framework is platform agnostic people sometimes
use perl to test programs written in other programming languages.
Since perl is good at gluing things together it's also often used to
help glue things that need to be tested together.
See <http://qa.perl.org/> and <http://del.icio.us/tag/perl+testing>
and <http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/perltestingadn/> for some more info.
