Hello Torsten,
Well, we are currently working on  a major reengineering of PerlQt, based on a 
new and more ambitious framework designed by Ashley Winters, the original 
author of PerlQt, who came with astounding ideas.
It's moving fast and very promising (in the sense that it is intented to grow 
as a general Qt/KDE binding framework), but we are yet a the "Hello World" 
state.
There is a publicly accessible CVS containing this work, which you can reach 
here :
export CVSROOT=":pserver:anonymous@perlkde.geo-ip.com:/home/kdecvs/perl"
cvs login
(hit enter)
cvs co PerlQt-3

There is also a mailing-list, 
  kde-perl@kde.org
-> subscribe mails to be sent to kde-perl-request@kde.org
(subscribe <email> in the subject).

Good ! Feel free to explore it and to join if you find it interesting,

Best regards,
