The closest thing I've seen to VB implemented in Perl is Prima There is a script called VB.pl in the Prima/VB directory of it's source code. It works!! You can setup a visual script just like in VB; however, the code is very bloated, and slow. As of now, it just demonstrates a "proof of concept". It sure would be a nice program if it was make to produce leaner code. The other drawback is you need to have the Prima module installed to make it's programs run.
