perl -e is acting funny in a chroot jail

Yeah, there was a /tmp there, but it was set to 755.  Setting it to 777
does not seem to have resolved the issue.
 
root at charon:/# chmod 777 tmp/
root at charon:/# ./usr/local/bin/perl -e 'exit'
Can't open perl script "-e": No such file or directory
 
Also, that error looks like it is trying to use '-e' as a filename, I'm
not sure, but I doubt that this is what perl would use for a temp file
name...
