If your Perl programs are command-line programs, then you might use SOAPLab to wrap your programs. You can then invoke them from Taverna. If they are Perl web services, then you should be able to invoke them directly from Taverna. You'll can register new web services with Taverna using the *Import new services -> WSDL service* menu item.
