I'm not unhappy, but it seems an unnecessary restriction.  An 
alternative would be to change GolfScore() to something like

sub GolfScore {
   my $script = shift;
   open(FF, $script) or die "error: open '$script'";
   local($/, $_);
   $_ = <FF>;
   close(FF);
   s/^#!.*?perl(.*)\n/$1/; # remove shebang except parameters
   s/\n$//; # delete final newline in file
   return length;
}
