Nooooooo...can't be so....there's something else going on clearly.
This is what happens (on a qube 2 but there's NO difference, a perl file
is a perl file....ASCII text throughout!!
[22:17:04 cjraven@kenmore]$ less /bin/badsh

!/usr/bin/perl

print "

exit 1;

That's it....if you pico the file BTW (I tried to reproduce your problem
but could not...naturally, since this is a text file only, not compiled)
you'll get the same result.
There's something else going on.
