I printed a piece of perl and noticed it looked a little odd.

Quoted text is printed in a proportional font, times-roman I think. For perl, 
I think it should be using a fixed font - say Gothic or one of the console 
fonts.

On looking more closely I saw the slant on back-ticks is wrong; they're 
printed like apostrpohes.

I then printed a bash script and verified these problems occur in those too. 
The bash script has back quotes and apostrophes and I cannot tell the 
difference.

While you're looking at these, you might consider printing the hash-bang line 
in bold italics, not just italics. 

btw I note that some bash builtins, but not all, are printed in bold. I know 
echo is an ordinary command in sh, but in bash it's built in.
