Well, flymake looks like exactly what you need:

Flymake is a Vim plugin to perform on-the-fly syntax checking for the files being edited by using the external syntax checking tool (usually a compiler). It also highlights erroneous lines and displays associated error and warning messages. This plugin is a port of 'flymake-mode' for Emacs.

Just substitute the world "perlcritic" wherever it says "compiler", and BAM! The trick is configuring the output of perlcritic to look like the output of a compiler. The formatting capabilities of the --verbose option are designed precisely for this situation.

I know that people have successfully used Emacs' flymake-mode with perlcritic. So I gotta believe that you can make it work with vim-flymake. Let me know how it works out.
