This is a problem in the results returned by ob-perl, not in the results
insertion mechanism. Given what is actually being returned by that code
block the results make sense.
#+name: perl-example
#+begin_src perl :results raw
q[|c1|c2|
|-
|a|1|
|b|2|];
#+end_src
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var data=perl-example :results verbatim
(format "%S" data)
#+end_src
#+RESULTS:
: "((\"\" \"c1\" \"c2\") (\"\" \"-\" \"\") (\"\" \"a\" 1) (\"\" \"b\" 2))"
If we add verbatim (which inhibits interpretation as a value, which can
often result in a list or table result), then we get what I assume you
expect.
#+name: perl-example
#+begin_src perl :results verbatim raw
q[|c1|c2|
|-
|a|1|
|b|2|];
#+end_src
#+RESULTS: perl-example
| c1 | c2 |
|----+----|
| a | 1 |
| b | 2 |

This output above makes sense. Maybe try the following (with verbatim)
instead.
#+begin_src perl :results verbatim drawer
q[|c1|c2
|-
|a|1
|b|2];
#+end_src
#+results:
:RESULTS:
| c1 | c2 |
|----+----|
| a | 1 |
| b | 2 |
:END:

This one looks good to me as is. I added a note about verbatim to [1],
if you can think anything else from this discussion that could be of
general interest please place it there as well.
Thanks,
