awk print output is followed by the value of ORS (newline by default).
perl print output is followed by the value of $\ , which a2p sets
initially to "\n".
$ awk -F: '$3 == 0 { print $1 }' /etc/passwd
root
$ echo '$3 == 0 { print $1 }' | a2p -F: | perl - /etc/passwd
root
The trivial example above works fine and a trailing newline is produced
in both cases.
a2p is not intended to produce a perfect machine-translation of awk code
to perl (please see the manual page under "Considerations"). You may
need to modify the output.

While a2p may not be behaving as you expect, this does not render the
perl package unusable.
