As discussed in t/README, tests should aim to use PERL_PATH rather than
straight "perl". We usually do this automatically with a "perl" function
in test-lib.sh, but a few cases need to be handled specially.
One such case is the apply-one-time-perl.sh CGI, which invokes plain
"perl". It should be using $PERL_PATH, but to make that work, we must
also instruct Apache to pass through the variable.
Prior to this patch, doing:
mv /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/my-perl
make PERL_PATH=/usr/bin/my-perl test
would fail t5702, t5703, and t5616. After this it passes. This is a
pretty extreme case, as even if you install perl elsewhere, you'd likely
still have it in your $PATH. A more realistic case is that you don't
want to use the perl in your $PATH (because it's older, broken, etc) and
expect PERL_PATH to consistently override that (since that's what it's
documented to do). Removing it completely is just a convenient way of
completely breaking it for testing purposes.
