As long as you write a program that obeys the protocol documented
in mimedefang-protocol(7), you can write the filter in whatever language
you like.  Invoke mimedefang-multiplexor with the appropriate "-f" option.

Obviously, if you use a non-Perl filtering program, you can't use the
embedded Perl interpreter.

If you're serious about writing a non-Perl filter to use with MIMEDefang,
you will need to study mimedefang.pl intensively.
