UPDATE:

> 1. This solution is still rather clumsy because I still need to completely redefine "cperl-describe-perl-symbol", I'm working on an approach to just locally override "message" with "pos-tip-show" within a wrapper.

here we go with v0.02,

thx to Andreas Politz from gnu.emacs.help! :) 

(require 'pos-tip)
(require 'cl)
  
(add-hook 'cperl-mode-hook
      (lambda ()
        (cperl-toggle-autohelp)
        (setq cperl-lazy-help-time 2)
 
         (defadvice cperl-describe-perl-symbol (around cperl-describe-
+perl-symbol-tooltip activate)
          "redirect message to tooltip"
          (flet ((message (fmt &rest args)
                      (pos-tip-show (apply 'format fmt args))))
            ad-do-it))
         ))
