I think what you discovered is a feature, not a bug.

From the first paragraph of the last section of perlsyn 

Plain Old Comments (Not!)

Much like the C preprocessor, Perl can process line directives. Using 
+this, one can control Perl's idea of filenames and line numbers in er
+ror or warning messages (especially for strings that are processed wi
+th eval()). The syntax for this mechanism is the same as for most C p
+reprocessors: it matches the regular expression / ^#\s*line\s+(\d+)\s
+*(?:\s"([^"]+)")?\s*$/ with $1 being the line number for the next lin
+e, and $2 being the optional filename (specified within quotes).

I think the answer to your problem is, if you don't mean to do that, "Don't write lines like that!" :^)

Okay you lot, get your wings on the left, halos on the right. It's one size fits all, and "No!", you can't have a different color.
Pick up your cloud down the end and "Yes" if you get allocated a grey one they are a bit damp under foot, but someone has to get them.
Get used to the wings fast cos its an 8 hour day...unless the Govenor calls for a cyclone or hurricane, in which case 16 hour shifts are mandatory.
Just be grateful that you arrived just as the tornado season finished. Them buggers are real work.
