Ehud I've tried the approach with the ".bashrc" file, but it creates other problems. When I've the "set -x" still set for tracing I can see that it loads the "shell" FOREVER, repeatedly. It never exits the load... statement.
It looks like the ".bashrc" file is the solution, but I also probably, need to make some changes in my ".emacs" and the "/etc/profile" files. However I'm not sure where and what. I believe that at this point I'll invoke the perl explicitly with the full path when I use it in the emacs sub-shell. Thanks again for your help.

I assumed INCORRECTLY that you run the perl directly from your Emacs (not in sub-shell). In your case bash executes ~/.bashrc, So if it does not exist create it and add the line: source /etc/profile That should solve your problems. You should keep the (setenv "Bash_ENV" "/etc/profile") for commands executed directly from Emacs (like shell-command [M-!] or compilation).
