There is something in /etc/profile or ~/.profile or some other login script(which file, depends on which shell) which is trying to run a perl script when you login. You need to look at these files to find out what.

I don't believe it's a problem with perl itself, per se, but whatever's trying to use it.

Thank you so much. Yes. /etc/profile was the problem.
