Perl "plugin" for Emacs

[paxxus]

Hi,

I'd like to be able to perform some text formatting in Perl as that will be
way faster for me than having to learn Lisp. Here's what I'm after:

1. Select a region in Emacs.
2. Press a key.
3. The selected text is passed to a Perl script.
4. Output from Perl script replaces the selected region.

Is this possible and what exactly would I have to put in my .emacs if, let's
say, the key I want to bind is F5 and the Perl script is located at
~/Emacs/format.pl

Thanks!
