Then I suggest you to use my findperl script I wrote
a few years ago and which already survived practice:

TMPFILE=/tmp/findperl.sh.$$.tmp

for dir in `echo $PATH | sed -e 's/:/ /g'`; do
for perl in perl5 perl miniperl; do
if test -f "$dir/$perl"; then
perl="$dir/$perl"
version=`$perl -v | grep version |\
sed -e 's/.* version //' -e 's/ built.*//' -e 's/
with.*//'`
versionnum="`echo $version | sed -e 's/\.//g' -e 's/_//g'`"
versionnum=`expr $versionnum - $c`
echo "$versionnum $version $perl" >>$TMPFILE
fi
done
c=`expr $c + 1`
done
perlvers="`cat $TMPFILE | sort -u | tail -1 | cut '-d ' -f2`"

rm -f $TMPFILE
case $perlprog:$perlvers in
*:5* )

echo "Ops, BnP needs an installed Perl 5.00x somewhere in $PATH" 1>&2
exit 1
;;
esac
echo "$perlprog"
