I forget to chmod u+x all of the time (well, I used to, now my script templates are generated by a script). I had #!/bin/sh in my bourne shell scripts, and it wouldn't run unless I did a chmod u+x to give it execute permissions. However, if that is what we are going to use for our definition, then I can set a text file to executable and we can call it an executable, so I don't see how a perl script would fit the "executable" category in the same way that a compiled binary would.
