Yuck; that means we would need to have something evil like this.

That's just disgusting.

How about a _much_ simpler approach.

Just make it do

	BEGIN { push ENV{'GIT_PERL_EXEC_DIR'}; }

And then simply _require_ that the setup code sets up GIT_PERL_EXEC_DIR.

No, we are not mucking with /usr/bin but are talking about a
directory for platform specific Perl libraries, which we need to
ask Perl at build-time.

And the standard way to say that is to do:

	use lib '@@INSTLIBDIR@@';

but that always prepends the directory to the search path, and
the ugly stuff is to allow test scripts to override it when
needed.
