I'd be surprised if you found any resources regarding Perl and Ant. The existing framework for building/testing/distributing Perl modules is fairly well-documented and ubiquitous, and most Perl projects use make if they need something more.

Running Perl scripts from Ant just requires the exec task, and the only thing to note is that the executable is the perl binary and your script is the first argument, like:

<target name="generate_session_descriptor" depends="init" description="Descriptor fragments for a session bean"> <exec executable="perl"> <arg value="${generate}/generate_session_descriptors.pl"/> <arg value="-d ${meta-inf}"/> <arg value="-n ${bean_name}"/> <arg value="-r ${bean_name}"/> <arg value="-h ${bean_name}Home"/> </exec> </target>

Hope this helps.
