That happened to me, too (BBEdit 6.0.2). I boiled it down to the way 
I (mis)quoted a string argument to a method call.

Works:
my $query = $voters->prepare("ORDER BIRTHDATE, LAST");

Works:
my $query = $voters->prepare('ORDER BIRTHDATE, LAST');

Errors in usual BBEdit Errors window:
my $query = $voters->prepare("ORDER BIRTHDATE, LAST);

Errors in MacPerl Output window only:
my $query = $voters->prepare('ORDER BIRTHDATE, LAST);

So, I suspect there's an explanation related to interpolation.

I've cc:ed Barebones.
