Usually, but not always. E.g., I keep a certain version in 
/usr/local/bin/perl, which may or may not (depending on platform) be 
identical to /usr/bin/perl, where the latter, not the former, would 
come first in the path.

I don't really think there is a standard that every at least half-sane 
person follows rigorously. Most often though, the perl you want to run 
your scripts will be the perl that you use to run Makefile.PL. Isn't 
there a way to figure what the path is to the perl that was used to run 
Makefile.PL?

Alternatively, ask for the path during 'perl Makefile.PL'.
