Now imagine a non-posix system where an upgrade was made. Amongst
other things perl was moved, i.e. from /opt/perl-5.8.8 to
/usr/local/{bin,lib}. Suddenly git breaks.
Building new perl for sources never removed,
by itself, older perls on the system. Did it ever for you ?
How would installing new perl into new location
break git ? It would only break if you *remove*
old perl, not if you install new perl into new
location, no ?
