RE: Bash v4.0 does not respect $PATH
As requested the output from perl -e "print $^X;"
Bash 3 => c:\opt\perl\bin\perl.exe
Bash 4 => /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.
