The only thing I can do to reproduce what you are seeing is to place a

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.
AH HA! When you mentioned control characters, I wondered if my text
editor -- BBEdit -- was causing the problem. It must have been, because
when I copy & pasted the code from BBEdit into Emacs, suddenly the
script ran perfectly in iTerm. Problem apparently solved. Thanks, everyone!
