Printing perl script with $` (Dollar-Grave Accent) problem

Hallo,

printing this little perl script

#! /usr/bin/perl
#
$test0="aa bb cc dd ee";
$test0 =~ m/ /;
print $` . "\n";
print $' . "\n";
# more comment

with a2ps on a Brother HL-1650 under SuSE Linux 9.3 doesn't work properly.
Directly after the $` letters the output stops pretty printing and 
continues with the font used for static strings. It also changes the grave 
accent to apostroph.
 
Best regards

Wolfgang Gross

The output changes to a different font after-------------------------------
