My configuration has been the following for a while (albeit commented
out due to this bug), which suggests that it wasn't previously
executable (and also demonstrates how to use it regardless :):
[pager]
diff = perl
/usr/share/doc/git/contrib/diff-highlight/diff-highlight.perl | less
log = perl
/usr/share/doc/git/contrib/diff-highlight/diff-highlight.perl | less
show = perl
/usr/share/doc/git/contrib/diff-highlight/diff-highlight.perl | less
