[ale] Weird Perl problem

[Allan Neal]

Running on bash version :
GNU bash, version 3.1.16(1)-release (i686-pc-linux-gnu)
Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

this works just fine on my box (Gentoo).  I ran "ls -l / | less" and 
"ls -l / | more" and both gave me good output in the pager.
