Hello!

This is not a bug in gnome-terminal, this is the way perl works.

When you run "perl" without argument, it will execute what's it is
receiving on it's standard input (your keyboard).

You can try this:

* run "perl"
* (now the cursor is on the next line)
* type "print "hello world\n";"
* hit "enter"
* hit "CTRL+D"
* (now perls says "hello world" and exits)

Hope this helps
