My first response is why?.

Sorry if I am being dramatic it's just that I used to do some ActiveX programming and it really was a pain. You could do it reasonably well using visual C++ and ATL if you needed to be small and were targeting IE users or you could even use Visual Basic if you didn't mind shipping the huge supporting DLLs...

The real question is what do you want need to do with your ActiveX control that requires Perl? The reason I say this is that the chances are that you are trying to solve a problem that is either better accomplished using something else or can be solved in another way using perl.
