Oh I see the problem... Is it the bang? #!/bin/perl #!/bin/python #!/bin/bash could very well result in the text file being executed in one of those interpreters, right?
Yes, but even worse on some systems a .pl file will just handed over to the registered handler for those (often a Perl interpreter) if you try to "open" it (which is a different operation from "execute" and can be done even on files that are not executable; think double-clicking the file in a file manager).
