It is convenient for the user to be able to customize the path to perl if they do not want to use the system perl. This may be the case, for example, if the user wants to use the plackup httpd but its extra dependencies are not installed in the system perl; they can set the perl path to a perl that they install and have control over in their own home directory.

Is it really necessary? There is always PERL5LIB if one wants to use Perl modules installed in one's own home directory. If one is using local::lib one has it "for free". If they do not want to use system perl there is always perlbrew.
