I don't know. But you can run it by typing Alt+x shell-command
(shortcut Alt+x !) then type “perl ‹filename›”.
Or, you can write a short elisp so that pressing a key will run the
program in current buffer.
(defun run-current-file ()
"Execute or compile the current file.
For example, if the current buffer is the file x.pl,
then it'll call “perl x.pl” in a shell.
The file can be php, perl, python, bash, java.
File suffix is used to determine what program to run."
(interactive)
(let (ext-map file-name file-ext prog-name cmd-str)
; get the file name
; get the program name
; run it
(setq ext-map
'(
("php" . "php")
("pl" . "perl")
("py" . "python")
("sh" . "bash")
("java" . "javac")
)
)
(setq file-name (buffer-file-name))
(setq file-ext (file-name-extension file-name))
(setq prog-name (cdr (assoc file-ext ext-map)))
(setq cmd-str (concat prog-name " " file-name))
(shell-command cmd-str)))
(global-set-key (kbd "<f7>") 'run-current-file)

Type Alt+x describe-key, then pull the menu. Then, you'll get the
command name run by that menu. Then, type Alt+x describe-function.
It'll pop up the online doc of the function with link to the source
code where the function is defined.
