This may be a problem if /usr/bin/wc is already an executable provided by
MacOSX

Care to elaborate?

You still can do an explicit /usr/bin/wc

I am not really interested in finding perl, but instead the executable I
want to call (/usr/bin/wc in this case)
Besides, if I do a "#!/usr/bin/env perl", I may find the MacOSX provided
Perl, not the Perl I installed via Gentoo.
Somehow defeats the purpose, doesn't it?
