*If* I understand what you're asking, read the docs for:

http://search.cpan.org/~mschwern/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.25/lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm

The bug you are referring to appears to be: 
http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=6588

bryar-newblog is referenced in the EXE_FILES of the Makefile.PL. and
it's shebang line is "#!/usr/bin/perl".

According to the ExtUtils::MakeMaker docs:

    If your executables start with something like #!perl
    or #!/usr/bin/perl MakeMaker will change this to the
    path of the perl 'Makefile.PL' was invoked with so 
    the programs will be sure to run properly even if perl
    is not in /usr/bin/perl.

So, if the bug author is still finding the shebang line is wrong, I
would suggest either they ran Makefile.PL with the wrong Perl or there
is a bug in their ExtUtils::MakeMaker setup.

Does this answer the question?

Cheers,
Ovid
