Having problems with different perl installations is not an unknown problem
in Git, I would say.

And Git itself is prepared to handle this situation:

In Makefile I can read:
# Define PERL_PATH to the path of your Perl binary (usually /usr/bin/perl).

(What Git can not decide is which perl it should use, the one pointed out by 
$PATH or /usr/bin/perl.)

What does
"type perl" say ?

And what happens when you build and install Git like this:
PERL_PATH=/XX/YY/perl make install

-----------
Are you thinking about changing
ifndef PERL_PATH
        PERL_PATH = /usr/bin/perl
endif
-- into --
ifndef PERL_PATH
        PERL_PATH = $(shell which perl)
endif

At first glance that could make sense, at least to me.

The problem in this case is the Perl being used at run-time, not build-time. The building of git is done by the homebrew project in this case, so I don't have direct control over it.
