This question might have gotten a little better response in comp.lang.perl,
but since I am reading over here...

Only BSD-based systems understand the #! hack.  You need to put

eval "exec /usr/bin/perl -S $0 $*"
	if $running_under_some_shell;

as the first two lines of your script.  This is documented in the
manpage (troff page 3, but your mileage may vary).

printf "%s %s %s %s%c", 'Just', 'another', 'Perl', 'hacker', 44
