Nicely translated. I wanted to make it read a little nicer, and came up with this equivalent code:

sub my_gdc {
  use POSIX 'ceil';
  my $n = shift;
  my $discrete = ceil($n ** (1/3));
  my @colors;
  GENERATE:
  for my $r (0..$discrete-1) {
    for my $g (0..$discrete-1) {
      for my $b (0..$discrete-1) {
        push @colors, [map {1-$_/$discrete} $r, $g, $b];
        last GENERATE if @colors >= $n;
      }
    }
  }
  \@colors;
}

and then I wanted to use a single loop and came up with this:

sub my_gdc1 {
  use POSIX 'ceil';
  my $n = shift;
  my $discrete = ceil($n ** (1/3));
  my @colors = ([1,1,1]);
  for my $i (1..$n-1) {
    push @colors, [map {1-($_%$discrete)/$discrete}
      $i/($discrete**2),
      $i/$discrete,
      $i];
  }
  \@colors;
}
