Does OS X ship /usr/bin/env?

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

Sorry, I should have made that clear earlier: yes.

funsat[122] > /usr/bin/env perl --version

This is perl, v5.8.8 built for darwin-2level

MacPorts /tends/ to make ports use stuff from other ports instead of
using Apple-installed bits. In this case, maybe git from MacPorts is using
perl from MacPorts?

FWIW, the problem seems to be that it's not finding *any* Perl.

That's odd, because the Portfile for git-core (1.5.5.3_0) does the build,
test and destroot install setting:

PERL_PATH="/usr/bin/env perl" NO_FINK=1 NO_DARWIN_PORTS=1

(and some other stuff). Have you pinged the port maintainer
(bryan@larsen.st)?

The issue seems to be one of the way bash is treating quotes.  It
apparently is trying to find the *command* "/usr/bin/env perl" and not
executing the command "/usr/bin/env" with a first argument of "perl".

See my message to Luciano moments ago.
