Xastir doesn't have a "kiss_off.pl" script, only a "kiss-off.pl" script.
And line 19 of this script is a comment, so it is extremely puzzling that
it would throw a syntax error.

kiss-off.pl is, after discarding 35 lines of comments, a three  line perl 
script:

  sleep 1;
  printf("%c%c%c", 192, 255, 192);
  sleep 1;

This simply sends three characters to standard out.
