Let's see....ok. The "regular" perl binary is /usr/bin/perl (which is itself a link to /usr/bin/perl-5.00503

My shebang is #!/usr/local/bin/perl -w which is a symlink to /usr/bin/perl

So yes, there are two levels of syms involved.
However, I think one of the earlier guys had it - my emacs is saving in DOS mode. Why, I have no idea. How to stop it, I also don't know. Does anyone?

I disagree. If emacs were saving in DOS mode (which means the newlines are comprised of a ^M^J (\r\n) instead of the Unix ^J (\n)), copying the file with 'cp' should have no effect whatsoever. 'cp' does not do any conversions, so it makes 0 sense that the problem would clear up simply by coping the file to a new name. This is why I think it's a filesystem/OS issue.
