Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ob-perl: modify variable definition to be compatible with
 strict and use non-interpolating quotes

* lisp/ob-perl.el (org-babel-variable-assignments:perl): Add "my" to
  variable declaration so that it becomes compatible with "use
  strict;".
* lisp/ob-perl.el (org-babel-perl-var-to-perl): Use Perl
  non-interpolating quoting on the string that defines the variable to
  suppress spurious interpretation of it as Perl syntax.
* lisp/ob-perl.el (org-babel-perl-wrapper-method): Use a block and
  declare all variables as "my", also use Perl quoting and the output
  record separator instead of a literal LF character.  Do away with
  the subroutine definition and use eval instead.
* lisp/ob-perl.el (org-babel-perl-preface): Content of this variable
  is prepended to body before invocation of perl.
* lisp/ob-perl.el (org-babel-perl-evaluate): Rename input parameter
  body to ibody and let-bind body to concatentation of
  org-babel-perl-preface and ibody.

Following a suggestion by Daniel M. German in
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/66855.
