With that fix the buildbot is happy now about the new download script:

Good point. And when it has been converted so that all these scripts are 
run via "$PERL" then I think we should drop their exec-flags and 
eventually also their shebang lines.
   ls -l main/solenv/bin/*pl
shows that the exec-bits were handled inconsistently and the scripts 
using them tended to be wrong by ignoring --with-perl-home.

This is an interesting experiment. Running
   find . -name "*.p[lm]" -exec grep -l bin/perl {} \;
gives a first indication that there will be quite many areas where to 
expect problems that cannot be easily found by the perl.foo experiment 
such as the platform or language specific or scripts.
