I don't have any suggestions directly in Perl/OpenGL (maybe someone
else will). However, in one of my projects, I'm using Coin/OpenInventor
to do the 3D modelling, and it automatically provides support for
picking. That said, I haven't figured out how to use its picking yet,
so I don't have any code lying around. I just know it supports it and I
plan to use it once my project gets to the point where I need it.

I don't know if there are Perl bindings for OpenInventor or Coin (GPL
OpenInventor implementation, www.coin3d.org) anywhere or not. I know
Python bindings exist.
