As requested the output from perl -e "print $^X;"

Bash 3 =3D> c:\opt\perl\bin\perl.exe

Bash 4 =3D> /usr/bin/perl

As you would expect the program that is actually running.
But again Bash 4 is incorrectly getting /usr/bin/perl rather
than /opt/perl/bin/perl

Are you sure PATH is the same in bash 3 and 4? You only showed the PATH from
bash 4.
Just out of curiosity, what does

perl -e 'print $^X'

print in those two situations? Also, try running

for i in $(echo $PATH | sed -r -e "s/:/ /g"); do ls -l $i/perl; done

in both shells.
