I have found that _python and _ruby have this problem:

    python -c '...' <TAB>
    ruby -e '...' <TAB>

these will complete a command name, not a file name.
_python has

  '(1 -)-c+[program passed in as string ...]:python command:'
  '*::script argument: _normal'

while _ruby has

  "(1)*-e+[one line of script ...]:one line of script:"
  '*::script argument: _normal'

Maybe we need to fix them after figuring out how to fix _perl.
