RE: Bash v4.0 does not respect $PATH

Yes I'm certain.  Below is a log of the following script

#--------------- script

$ echo "bash version = ${BASH_VERSINFO[0]}"
$ for i in $(echo $PATH | sed -r -e "s/:/ /g"); do echo $i; done
$ which perl
$ perl --version

$ /bin/bash
$ echo "bash version = ${BASH_VERSINFO[0]}"
$ for i in $(echo $PATH | sed -r -e "s/:/ /g"); do echo $i; done
$ which perl
$ perl --version
$ exit

$ echo "bash version = ${BASH_VERSINFO[0]}"
$ for i in $(echo $PATH | sed -r -e "s/:/ /g"); do echo $i; done
$ which perl
$ perl --version

#-------------- output

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.
