Do any Perl projects exist similar to FuXi?

It depends on what you mean by "similar". :-) If you mean, "a RIF-inspired 
API for bi-directional logical reasoning using RETE nets", then I guess no. 

However, Toby and Dmitry Tsarkov worked on reasoners on the Perl+RDF 
hackathon. There is his  RDF::Closure module, which does some inferencing 
in Pure Perl: http://search.cpan.org/~tobyink/RDF-Closure/
Dmitry Tsarkov is the main author of FaCT++, which is a leading reasoner
http://owl.man.ac.uk/factplusplus/
I think that what they did to make this callable from Perl is an 
implementation of OWL Direct Semantics:
http://search.cpan.org/~tobyink/OWL-DirectSemantics/

Anyway, I have never tried any of these stuff, as I'm not doing a lot of 
reasoning work.

Nice!
