I would normally avoid that type of automatic operation and use an
explicit command instead.

Eg, 

define begin_perl () {
    bob();
    insert("#!/usr/bin/perl -w\nuse strict;\n");
    insert("\n# ( my $Script = $0 ) =~ s{^.*/}{};\n");
    perl_mode();
}
add_completion("begin_perl");


With a tiny bit of work you could have it insert an arbitrary template
or a mode-specific template instead.
