Behaviour of the -F flag on the shabang-line

Hi!

I noticed that when I run a program (perl test.pl) whose shabang line ends
with "-F''", perl croaks on me, with some obscure error for versions
before 5.8.0. Is it a bug in those versions? Is it a bug in Perl 5.8.0?

For example take:

<<<
#!perl -0paF''
$l=scalar(grep{$_ eq"*"}@F);
s!NUM!$l!g
>>>

My opinions may seem crazy, but they all make sense. Insane sense, but
sense nonetheless.
