Ah, OK, that makes more sense.

We generally try to use $PERL_PATH even for building and testing by
invoking "$PERL_PATH script.pl", and declaring a perl() wrapper within
the test scripts. But I would not be surprised if there are cases where
we fail to (and nobody noticed because it usually just works to find one
at /usr/bin/perl).
IMHO we should aim for fixing those inconsistencies, and then letting
people set PERL_PATH as appropriate (even to something that will find it
via $PATH if they want to).
