This is a build-time knob. When you build git, try: make PERL_PATH='/usr/bin/env perl' (If you don't build your own git, then you might raise the issue with whomever packages your binary). As an aside, git-difftool is now a C builtin these days, so the problem might also go away if you upgrade. ;) -Peff
