I believe the problem is in $VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin/perl.vim, line 15:

setlocal formatoptions+=crq

That line is executed whenever you open or create a Perl file. The
solution is to put

setlocal fo-=r

in the (new) file ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/perl.vim.

The $VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin/perl.vim file I looked at was the version
last changed on 2009-08-14, so it isn't the version you have, but it
probably still has that line.
