That is totally irrelevant.  

The more important point is that we do the same set of tests so instead of running just one, we run BOTH. If we did a bit more work, we could even say "even when there is no Perl installed, we run tests with only the new built-in one". This does not go that far yet, but that should not be too hard, I would think. See below.

Instead of the above, I'd suggest to make the loop like so:
	for use_builtin_difftool in $TESTED_VARIANTS
	do

and before the loop begins, set TESTED_VARIANTS to either "false true" or "true" by checking the PERL prerequisite.

And then we can lose this comment. As all existing tests have PERL prereq that can go away with the above suggested change, we'd need to touch quite a many lines with "s/_success PERL /_success /".

It may be a good time to indent these existing tests to make it clear that they are inside the new "for use_builtin_difftool" loop.

... and indentation would extend to these newly added lines, of course.
