Unless you are only using the shell from msys, and using the Strawberry perl installation. This is as the OP stated.

I actually agree that Strawberry is not the proper place for the bug report. I would argue that it is a bug in the original packages that are included in the Strawberry distribution. Even if not on Strawberry with an msys shell, the same thing can happen with multiple perl installations under unix. If the shebang is hardcoded in the distribution and the installation script does not rewrite the shebang line to the full path of the perl installation it is installed into, the script will use the wrong perl when executing itself. Under unix, it appears that the script gets rewritten (at least what I could test). Under Strawberry, it does not look like it does.

An interesting scenario probably best to be avoided.
