My configuration has been the following for a while (albeit commented
out due to this bug), which suggests that it wasn't previously
executable (and also demonstrates how to use it regardless :):

[pager]
        diff = perl 
/usr/share/doc/git/contrib/diff-highlight/diff-highlight.perl | less
        log = perl 
/usr/share/doc/git/contrib/diff-highlight/diff-highlight.perl | less
        show = perl 
/usr/share/doc/git/contrib/diff-highlight/diff-highlight.perl | less
