There are some perl modules (e.g., the following one) can be used for
editing pdf files. But I'm interested in more sophisticated tasks. For
example, I want to automatically highlight certain words (using regex)
in a pdf. Could somebody let me know if there is an easy way to do so
in perl?

That article mentions PDF::API2. I believe that anything which can be
done to a PDF can be done using that module, but it may not be terribly
easy.
