Funny you should say that. My boss and I just discovered that as the culprit. There is a bug that only manifests in 1.5.11. Even though 'which perl' shows /usr/bin/perl, make was running /usr/local/bin/perl. The version of /usr/local/bin/perl somehow lost it's 'x' attribute, so it couldn't

What's the output of "getfacl /usr/bin/perl"? How about "getfacl /usr/bin/perl5.8.5.exe"? When you do "ls -lLn /usr/bin/perl", do you see 15865 as the owner, or some other id? What is your SHELL set to in the Makefile? Does perl work from the command line in zsh (which seems to be your SHELL)?
