Because you use the -E switch on the sudo invocation, this environment variable will be passed to the perl script and should be picked up by git. Not that simple, unfortunately. The contents of the GIT_SSH variable is not passed to /bin/sh, so multi-word thing is not gonna work as expected. But one could wrap the whole call in a shell script and set GIT_SSH to its full pathname. Can't hurt (much) to try, I hope.
