 Is it possible to define a virtual field in such a way that it can
call
 a unix shell script?

Sure, if the virtual field in turn called a subroutine which did the 
underlying PCPERFORM.  I'm not sure if you can do this directly from a 
virtual field without going thru a subroutine.

Perhaps you could by opening UFD and executing your script in there?
