When asking for help with communicating with devices, it's usually a good idea to mention which OS you're working with. Since Brother's website was primarily listing Windows stuff for your device, I made the assumption that you were on Windows.

Doing a quick Google search on "Brother QL-570 linux" yielded this link: http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/index.html

I'm not very experienced with Linux, but I think that if you're able to manually print to the device from the terminal (lpr command?), it should be easy to issue a system call from Perl to do the same. Also, on that page, one of the links describes how to print from OpenOffice and Gimp. If you can find a way to control those programs from Perl, that should give you another route to go.
