Sounds like you want a BuildFactory with two steps: SVN and  
ShellCommand (the latter invokes your perl script in the directory  
created from the SVN checkout). The ShellCommand step captures the  
stdout and stderr of your perl script, and considers the exit code of  
the script to determine failure or success. There are, of course, many  
variations on this.

You would also need a SVNPoller or a SVN hook script to notify the  
BuildBot scheduler about any changes.
