I'm not sure what "configured with PERL_PATH" means exactly. If you did:

  PERL_PATH=/usr/local/bin/perl ./configure

then I don't think that works. The way to tell configure that you want
to use a specific version of perl is with a command-line option:

  ./configure --with-perl=/usr/local/bin/perl

When you're running make itself, you can override the default (or what
was specified during configure) with:

  make PERL_PATH=/usr/local/bin/perl

Both of the latter two work for me:

  $ ./configure --with-perl=/perl/from/configure
  [...]
  $ make
  [...]
  /perl/from/configure Makefile.PL PREFIX='/home/peff/local/git/master' 
INSTALL_BASE='' --localedir='/home/peff/local/git/master/share/locale'
  make[1]: /perl/from/configure: Command not found

  $ make PERL_PATH=/perl/from/make
  [...]
  /perl/from/make Makefile.PL PREFIX='/home/peff/local/git/master' 
INSTALL_BASE='' --localedir='/home/peff/local/git/master/share/locale'
  make[1]: /perl/from/make: Command not found

Obviously those are nonsense, but they quickly show that we're using the
requested version of perl.

This looks like the last issue with Git 2.12.2. This time the machine
is Fedora 25.

I configured with PERL_PATH=/usr/local/bin/perl. The local Perl was
built specifically for this error, and it includes
ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm:

$ find /usr/local -name MakeMaker.pm
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.24.1/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm

$ make all

Failed to build Git

/usr/local/bin/perl is on path but Git is using the old one in /usr/bin:

$ which perl
/usr/local/bin/perl

It appears Git is not honoring the request for the updated Perl.

Thanks,
