t5532: workaround for BusyBox on Windows
While it may seem super convenient to some old Unix hands to simpy require Perl to be available when running the test suite, this is a major hassle on Windows, where we want to verify that Perl is not, actually, required in a NO_PERL build. As a super ugly workaround, we "install" a script into /usr/bin/perl reading like this: #!/bin/sh # We'd much rather avoid requiring Perl altogether when testing # an installed Git. Oh well, that's why we cannot have nice # things. exec c:/git-sdk-64/usr/bin/perl.exe "$@" The problem with that is that BusyBox assumes that the #! line in a script refers to an executable, not to a script. So when it encounters the line #!/usr/bin/perl in t5532's proxy-get-cmd, it barfs. Let's help this situation by simply executing the Perl script with the "interpreter" specified explicitly.
