Well, that's the reason.

All zsh knows is that the OS returned a no-such-file error code; it does
not know that the reason is because the OS was unable to find the file
named in the #! line.  So it prints the file name that it does know --
the name of the perl script -- and the error message from the OS.  The
conjunction of the two is unfortunately misleading.
