That line simply calls perl by the $PERL variable, which is set at the
top of the script, like so:

   PERL='/usr/bin/env perl'

If I change this line to point to my perl directly, it works.  On a
hunch, I changed it to:

   PERL="/usr/bin/env perl"  # note the double-quotes

[snip lies]

Apparently I didn't test this thoroughly enough, and I was wrong.
Changing the quotes has no effect.

So git-instaweb only works for me if I manually specify my perl path.
Can anyone think of why this might be?

Does OS X ship /usr/bin/env?

If you type "/usr/bin/env perl" in a Terminal window, do you get Perl?
