Possibly related: it is a known issue in MakeMaker that `#!/usr/bin/env perl` in scripts will not get replaced; I wonder if module authors choose to just use `#!/usr/bin/perl` or `#!perl` as a result, even though those are the less ideal/portable choices. See https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/issues/58
