I'm not certain that these are the ones that are executed when I type get_iplayer in the terminal.

The command "which get_iplayer" will show you which executable gets run when you type "get_iplayer" in the terminal.

Are there any Perl scripts associated with the get_iplayer_web_pvr command that require to be modified to use the system version of Perl?

By googling I can only guess that get_iplayer_web_pvr is from the Debian get-iplayer package, its source is nice and short:

#!/bin/sh
. /etc/default/get_iplayer_web_pvr
/usr/bin/perl /usr/share/get_iplayer/get_iplayer.cgi -p $PORT -g /usr/
+bin/get_iplayer -l $LISTEN

[download]

Which would mean that the answer to your question is no, no changes to that script are necessary. Plus, since the get_iplayer.cgi script is being specifically invoked with the system Perl at /usr/bin/perl, you might not even have to modify get_iplayer.cgi, although it wouldn't hurt.
