I agree with Christian here. But you could trick org into achieving what
you want, in specifying a tangle target in the PROPERTIES sectio, given
that you only use :tangle yes :

* headline
:PROPERTIES:
:tangle:   tmp.tmp
:END:

#+begin_src perl :tangle yes
2 + 2
#+end_src
#+begin_src perl :tangle no
3 + 3
#+end_src
 

In this case, the the first code block can be tangled into tmp.tmp and
the second one won't. So no harm done to your "clean" tangled file, only
the tmp.tmp, which you can discard afterwords.

Cheers,

Rainer
