Happy to wait until the Perl folk chime in (hence moreinfo), but how
about just:
--- a/checks/scripts.desc
+++ b/checks/scripts.desc

.
Note that, as a special exception, Debian Policy § 10.4 states that
- Perl scripts must use <tt>/usr/bin/perl</tt> directly and not

Severities are per-tag so a rather ugly separate Perl-specific tag
would be required for this given that we surely want to loudly if
someone uses #!/usr/local/bin/python3 or similar.
(Saying that, I personally think people too much weight into the
difference between severities — parallel to critical vs grave BTS
"severity wars" — but that might be a losing quixotic battle of
mine.)
Best wishes,
