Well, they're not exactly vb2perl, but here are some apps that might be of
interest:

GNOME Basic  <http://www.gnome.org/projects/gb/>
Visual Basic for Linux  <http://sourceforge.net/projects/vb4linux/>
Phoenix Object Basic  <http://www.janus-software.com/phoenix_body.html>

Of these, the first seems the best from a standpoint of cost, degree of
development, and completeness.
