The exactly same idea is long-ago implemented in Tk (which is part of Tcl/Tk), see it on tcl/tk wiki page at
Tk Game Pack
the single file tkgamepack.kit is run with "tclkitsh", so this is run with 2 files, but actually single-file executable is also possible.
This is not Perl, but Tcl could be very tightly tied to Perl with a Tcl-Tk CPAN module.
To say from a little different perspective - I, personally, write perl+Tcl/Tk code in a such way:
$interp->Eval(<<'EOS');
# here goes Tcl/Tk code to construct GUI interface
EOS
# and here goes perl/Tk text to use my widgets
$text->insert('end','text');
so if I would implement your idea I would heavily base on said tkgamepack.kit file.
update: fix 2 typos
