Description: /etc/profile.d/perlbin.{fish,csh} scripts do not enquote $PATH when using it.

I don't know what order profile.d is loaded in, yet it should not break if the PATH contains whitespaces *somehow*. Otherwise the expanded variable will be split upon whitespace characters and truncate the paths. Definitely so with tcsh, I'm not sure if Fish does it's own thing once again. Better be on the safe side?

perlbin.fish:
if test -d $perldir; and not contains $perldir $PATH
set PATH $PATH $perldir

perlbin.csh:
setenv PATH ${PATH}:/usr/bin/site_perl
