Hi Sam,

Yes. It doesn't tell us the full story, but it tells us that your perl
on the remote machine doesn't work.

As workaround, you might deactivate it for that machine. Like this:

(add-to-list 'tramp-connection-properties '("podval" "perl" nil))

However, I would also like to add a test to Tramp in order to detect
such broken perl stanzas. Could you, pls, perform the following commands
on the remote machine, and show me their output?

# which perl
# perl -v
# perl -e 'print "hello\n"'; echo $?
# perl -e '@stat = lstat("/dev/null"); print join(" ", @stat) . "\n"'; echo $?

Thanks, and best regards, Michael.
