Here are two patches that fix this and implement (partly) some of your suggestions. I don't think Org should pollute the global Perl namespace by default, so I've left the definition of org-babel-perl-preface to the user for now. The second patch has the debugging aid you've been requesting, if you bind the symbol org-babel--debug-input to anything the temporary input files won't be deleted after the code has run.

Do away with the subroutine definition and use eval instead. * lisp/ob-perl.el (org-babel-perl-preface): Content of this variable is prepended to body before invocation of perl. * lisp/ob-perl.el (org-babel-perl-evaluate): Rename input parameter body to ibody and let-bind body to concatentation of org-babel-perl-preface and ibody.

Please reply to the list whether this works for you so when Eric sees this he can decide if he wants to apply them. Eric, the input file seems to be missing the final newline, probably because the original region didn't include it. This can be a problem with some programs, is this intended to be left off or should we add one (generally or just for some languages)?
