It looks like a bug. I get the buggy behaviour on 5.6.1 (<samp>This is perl, v5.6.1 built for sun4-solaris</samp>), but not on 5.005_03 (<samp>This is perl, version 5.005_03 built for sun4-solaris</samp>).
I think we need abigail-II...
Update
I get the same results (no error message, i.e. the bug is exercised) with v5.6.1 on i686-linux, IP27-irix and alpha-dec_osf.
(Temporary) update2
particle suggests I mention, until the editors fix the node title, that it's really strange behaviour of use strict 'subs': it relates to the use of a bareword.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
