You linked to the wrong bug. 89698 appears to be the bug you submitted (original link).
And it appears that neither you nor Graham Barr actually understand what I find funny about searching PATH. It doesn't actually do anything useful (even in the case of a SunOS shell that could use relative paths). (For it to be useful, Perl itself would have to have a strange quirk, one that I'm pretty sure Perl never had.)
