If you explicitly invoke perl or (or just any interpreter) to execute a script, as in "perl script.pl", script.pl needs not be given executable permission to run at all.
If you would like to directly invoke the script, e.g. "./script.pl", the file needs the top #! line in order to tell which interpreter to use to execute it, and the file needs to have executable permission set.

NAME
script - make record of a terminal session
SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.
The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.
