When I try this:

makeprg doesn't get set, I guess because vim sets the filetype to "perl" only
after BufRead has happened (the :help doesn't say). The :help does hint at using
BufWinEnter instead, which works for this case, but it seems suboptimal having these
autocmd commands executed every time I display the buffer, when really I only need them
executed the once, after buffer read/load.
The event you want for the loading of the file is FileType. As mentioned before.
But FileType autocmds get executed at every display of the buffer, not just
when loading the file.
autocmd BufWinEnter * if &ft == 'perl' | exe input("BufWinEnter") | endif
autocmd FileType perl exe input("FileType")
These both wait for input when bringing forth via :b. I suppose I'd just have
to set and check for a 'loaded' variable at the beginning of my commands.
