The only thing I can do to reproduce what you are seeing is to place a
control-d (aka ASCII character 4) in the file. Try saying this
echo 'print "hello\n"' | perl -
If that works, then try this:
perl -nle 'print for grep { $_ < 31 or $_ > 126 } map ord, split //' t.pl
It will tell use what control characters may be lurking in that file of yours.
