Two of these little critters showed up today in our yard.... never seen them before. Anyone know what they are? (Maybe about 4-6 inches long)

Looks like some type of caterpillar or grub. Do I see feet in the picture?

Guess you've never seen a mature tomato horn worm (which this is not). You might want to take a look at the following website to see if you can match up your pupa w/ one of the photos there:

Is it something a perot may have left behind?

Ezzie knows how to spell and was not talking about a parrot. Rather I believe Ezzie was posting about Ross Perot's company often referred to as a Perot. Actually Perot Systems which was an information technology services provider founded in 1988 by a group of investors led by Mr. Perot and based in Texas. Perot Systems employed more than 23,000 people and had an annual revenue of $2.8 billion before its acquisition in 2009 by Dell, Inc. for $3.9 Billion.

Hey Ezzie: I'm impressed. What was your connection to Ross Perot and to Dell? I would love to know.

Pete,
No direct connection however I did work in systems integration sales (Auto ID) for a number of years with such customers as EDS, etc.

It was a typo and a failed attempt at humour. I meant to spell "perro". My apologies.
