"Text file" is old Unix-speak for an executable; specifically, the "text" portion of such a file is the executable code. So apparently somebody is trying to open a file for writing while it's being executed. This is a Bad Thing.
PS: Opening a perl script during execution can't cause this error. It must be a binary executable. -- Chip Salzenberg, Free-Floating Agent of Chaos
