I think I see what problem you are trying to solve better now.
Probably more relevant example on MacOS would be whitespace in
the pathname.

I think using the bare $(PERL_PATH) in perl/Makefile is a
reasonable solution.

Are they any other issues on MacOS?  For example, gitweb.cgi is
built by replacing the shebang with $(PERL_PATH); I presume that
you already are successfully working around the whitespace in
the pathname with your "env perl" on MacOS?
