It is convenient for the user to be able to customize the path to perl if they
do not want to use the system perl. This may be the case, for example, if the
user wants to use the plackup httpd but its extra dependencies are not
installed in the system perl; they can set the perl path to a perl that they
install and have control over in their own home directory.
