The reason for this is that some filetype plugins, including
ftplugin/perl.vim, add the 'o' flag to 'formatoptions'. To fix that
for all filetype plugins, I have this in my ~/.vimrc:

au FileType * setlocal formatoptions-=o

I'm not positive, but I think that that line has to come _after_
":filetype plugin on" so that that :setlocal command will be
executed after any commands in a filetype plugin.

You can fix the problem for just Perl by replacing the * above with
the name perl, or you can create a file named (assuming Unix)
~/.vim/after/ftplugin/perl.vim containing the line:

setlocal formatoptions-=o
