When running git difftool:
>git difftool

Perl lib version (5.10.0) doesn't match executable version (v5.16.3) Compilation failed in require at <path>/git-difftool line 2.

First line in my git-difftool is: #!/usr/bin/perl

I am using a specific perl that I cannot change. Similarly, I cannot change the git-difftool file. I would like the difftool to use the perl form my PATH. 

Maybe it would be better to use #!/usr/bin/env perl? ----------------------------------------- Diese E-Mail enthaelt vertrauliche oder rechtlich geschuetzte Informationen.
