My bad, I should've checked this before sending it off.  I guess we'll 
solve this in Michael's patch thread; don't expect a reply from me in 
the next 12h though, I'm way tired and utterly unproductive right now.

Hm, is your test output somehow different from the following?  It states 
the error quite clearly at the bottom.

$ ./t9700-perl-git.sh -v
* expecting success: echo "test file 1" > file1 &&
      echo "test file 2" > file2 &&
      [...]
      git-config --add test.int 2k

*   ok 1: set up test repository
[...]
*  run 2: Perl API (perl ../t9700/test.pl)
* FAIL 2: Perl API
	perl ../t9700/test.pl
* expecting no stderr from previous command
* FAIL 3: no stderr: Perl API
	perl ../t9700/test.pl
