may I disagree?
I'll admit I never had to do it with perl, but every time people insists
on using full paths overrinding a program by hacking on PATH suddenly
becomes much harder.
As usual, one would expect that their build system is sane, having a
non-working (or whatever was the problem there) `perl` during a build is
very much the fault of the person controlling that system, not of
debhelper.
