You mentioned that you're using distzilla. This presents a potential solution: Write your code with
#!/usr/bin/env/perl (so that it works with your local tests) and then use a distzilla plugin to rewrite the Perl files while they're being packaged for distribution, changing
#!/usr/bin/env/perl to
#!/usr/bin/perl (so that the distributed files will be CPAN-correct according to your "someone").
To the best of my knowledge, such a distzilla plugin does not currently exist, but it's a simple enough task (run one regex substitution on the first line of each file) that writing one should be relatively straightforward.
