Another part I have in my .vimrc:

au BufNewFile *.pl,*.cgi s,^,#!/usr/bin/perl -w,
      \ | w
      \ | !chmod +x %
[download]

Maybe not pretty but does the trick, maybe you can also add to this the use strict; stuff and some other header stuff. So eacht time you start a new perl file it automatically puts a header in. Try it for the next version :)
