I'm not sure there is really a simple Perl answer. However so that you appreciate what's going on, a little background may help.

USB devices use device drivers which are accessed either by using CreateFile to open file handles - if you know the nasty "filename" for the device (enumerating USB devices to get their "file names" is a bit exciting BTW), or hook themselves into various parts of the system depending on the sort of device that they are (mice, sound devices, disk drives ...).

So if the device you wish to access looks like a disk drive, treat it just like a disk drive. If it is something "special" then you will need a special answer. If you wish to post a little more information about the type of device and how you want to use it, I may be able to help further.

Perl is Huffman encoded by design.
