What would this code do in PERL?

What would this code do in PERL? Someone psoted this as an answer to a question, but they posted the code in hex. This is the translation. What does it do? Since they felt it was best to translate the code to hex before posting, I suspect the poster may have had ill intentions but i would like to know for sure.

echo root#;
sleep 5;
echo logout<lf>

it logs out root?

Nothing serious as far as I can tell.

Code:

# perl test.perl
Can't locate object method "echo" via package "root" (perhaps you forgot to load "root"?) at test.perl line 1.

Thats what it does. Nothing. Thats not even perl scripting.
