Isn't $SHELL set at remote login?
You can usually look at /etc/shells to see what is available, if you 
don't like what you have.

Does it make sense to do a which()-like command, and use that version of 
perl?
I'm not sure which perl5 features that tramp exploits.

Finally, I'm not sure if Mac OS-X will have any shell available, other 
than /bin/zsh.

The traditional solution is to have a sh and a csh solution, and decide 
which to use.
