Yes, the perl soft link works from the command line. Here's my test case that fails.
<foo.pl>
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Success.\n"
</foo.pl>
<Makefile>
default:
perl foo.pl
</Makefile>
#ls -l /usr/bin/perl
lrwxrwxrwx 1 isaacf Domain U 24 Sep 7 12:44 /usr/bin/perl -> /usr/bin/perl5.8.5.exe
#gmake
perl foo.pl
gmake: execvp: perl: Permission denied
gmake: *** [default] Error 127
#perl foo.pl
Success.
You may also need to "rm /usr/bin/perl.exe" before you can "ln -s /usr/bin/perl5.8.5.exe /usr/bin/perl".
