The short answer is "Yes". The long answer is that you'll need the Win32::OLE module and a great deal of patience.
Basically, Win32::OLE will let you talk to any COM object in Windows with Perl. The real work is finding the right object type (for which you can usually use the "OLE browser" that comes with ActiveState and with most Visual Studio distributions, docs on MSDN, whatever you can find), and identifying the right methods to call. Once you have that, the rest is not too bad. Take a look at Dave Roth's web site for hints on how to proceed.
