a2ps -Eperl bug

I'm using GNU a2ps 4.13 on an i386 Debian Woody system. When invoking
a2ps with the -Eperl option on any perl program containing the following
built-in delimeter variable..

$"

..the pretty printer gets confused and thinks it's the beginning of a
string literal, thereby causing the rest of the source code to be
pretty-printed incorrectly.

A work-around is to use the long version of the built-in variable,
$LIST_SEPARATOR, rather than the short version.

I hope this proves helpful. Please let me know if you need any further info.
