[PLUG] OT: Perl question


I am trying to install some software that uses the perl 5 interpreter.  
I don't know any perl, and the program came with an install script that 
downloads, installs and configures the modules it needs to run.  There 
was a problem with the script, so the author sent me a new one.  Now, I 
am getting the error
  Unrecognized character \xA0 at install.pl line 22.
As line 22 has nothing unusual in it, I am wondering whether Perl skips 
comments at the begining of a script in calculating the line number?
Any ideas what character \xA0 might be?

Thanks.
