Do you know how to write IDEA plugin in language other than Java?

Nope. But you don't have to write all the https://github.com/hurricup/Perl5-IDEA/blob/master/src/com/perl5/lang/perl/lexer/Perl.flex stuff in java.

Your plugin could call "perl lexmyperlfile.pl" via Runtime.getRuntime().exec() or some such

Or if that is too slow, open a socket and launch "perl threrealplugin.pl" so they can talk on this socket

Instead of doing all the hard work yourself, let CPAN work for you

somehow or something ... its just ideas :)
