librsvg and thus Gnome2::Rsvg can do this.  Here's an example (which
lacks error checking):

use Cairo;
use Gnome2::Rsvg;

my $handle = Gnome2::Rsvg::Handle -> new();
$handle -> write($svg_data);
$handle -> close();

my $surface = Cairo::ImageSurface -> create("argb32", 10, 10);
my $cr = Cairo::Context -> create($surface);
$handle -> render_cairo($cr);
