In simple words: Yes, Perl is Turing complete, therefore it can, given enough resources, do what every other Turing complete language or computer can do. But you may find it a bit hard to write programs in Perl that are as clunky, memory hungry and slow as your typical Java program.(*) (*) Sorry, couldn't resist that one...
"For me, programming in Perl is like my cooking. The result may not always taste nice, but it's quick, painless and it get's food on the table."
