It has to do with MPW (Macintosh Programming Works), an IDE for Mac
OS. I'm not that familiar with MPW (having only used it to build
MacPerl), but prepending the '# ' makes the string a comment for the
MPW shell. Apparently you can then do various useful things with it.
This behavior (prepending the '# ') is supposed to be under user
control in MacPerl 5.6.
