The shebang you list above is forcing the use of a specific perl version. You cannot change that without changing that to something else. Either change it to use the exact path you want, to the MP version, or use the /usr/bin/env approach to find and use the perl version via your shell PATH. See

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shebang_(Unix)

For details if you need them.
