You might just want to use VNC.

VNC is a program that allows you to run an X server (or a Windows session) on a server machine, and display the output on a different machine (even one with a different os). That is, it's the graphics equivalent of an ssh server and client.

VNC also has a way to use through a browser. If it's enabled, the VNC server behaves as a https server, where clients can connect and do the operations through javascript. This means that you don't have to install anything on the client machine. The disadvantage of the javascript way is that it's slow, even slower than otherwise.

VNC is secure, and is free software.

As such an application has to be an X server, I don't think you could get good performance if you want to reimplement it in perl. It requires a fast machine (and network too, you can only use VNC on intranet) as is. It would be even slower in perl.
