Can you? Of course you can. Has someone? Very probably, although I
can't recall seeing an instance off-hand.
"Compare Perl speed to Python" is pretty open ended question though. In
general? For task X? Task Y?
While it doesn't mention Python specifically, there is a very
interesting paper by Kernighan and Van Wyk describing some experiments
with various tasks in different languages which is germane to this
thread:
Timing Trials, or, the Trials of Timing
