This shouldn't be necessary as long as you use shebang #!/usr/bin(whatever)/perl in your scripts. Both emacs and vim recognize files this way.

    Sure, my editor recognizes that too. But I don't know about your OS, but if I start editing a new file, the file starts out without any characters in it. Meaning, not even a shebang line. Furthermore, imported code (say, from perlmonks), doesn't always have a shebang line.
