failing: attempt to embed perl in bash (sh)

Have tried several variations for the SingleQuoted(SQ)
script...including
perl -e 'xxxx'
or just
'#!/usr/bin/perl
on the 1st line, but nothing seems to work.

I probably have scores, of shell scripts that use this
type of construct. Some are called by putting the prog
in a "var" 1st, others, I've done inline... but getting
that syntax, is a bit challenging...(sigh)...

Any ideas? Files of interest (using vim7.4) below.
Thanks!

I have this snippet in my test file:

---/tmp/perl_in_bash
#!/bin/bash

# path goes from curdir (topdir) through file repomd.xml

for path in "${paths[@]}"; do
my dir=${path%/*}
my repo=${dir#tumbleweed/repo/}
repo=${repo%%/*}
array names=()
my p_prog='use strict; use warnings; use P;
my $dir = $ARGV[0];
while (<>) {
chomp;
if ( m{<location href=\"repodata/([^"]+)\"/>} ) {
my $file=$1;
unless ($file =~ m{-susedata\.[^.]+\.xml\.gz$} ) {
P "%s/%s", "$dir", $file;
}
}
}'
P "dir=%s, repo=%s", "$dir" "$repo"
readarray -t names< <(perl -e "$p_prog" "$dir" "$path")
raw_repomd_files[$repo]="${names[*]}"
done
# vim: ts=2 sw=2 et ai number

and I have a perlembeded vim-syntax file like this:

--- perlembed.vim ---
" in ~/.vim/after/syntax/sh as perlembed.vim

if exists("b:current_syntax")
unlet b:current_syntax
endif
syn include @PerlScript syntax/perl.vim
