Heh, your system got scared when it saw that you know how to use the 
debugger :)

Please take a look at Apache-Test/lib/Apache/TestConfig.pm, it has a 
function that untaints the PATH:

# Temporarily untaint PATH
sub untaint_path {
     my $path = shift;
     ($path) = ( $path =~ /(.*)/ );
     # win32 uses ';' for a path separator, assume others use ':'
     my $sep = WIN32 ? ';' : ':';
     # -T disallows relative and empty directories in the PATH
     return join $sep, grep !/^(\.|$)/, split /$sep/, $path;
}

try to see why it failed to do the job, by dumping the values of $path 
before and after it (at around line 1059).

If you don't figure it out post it here.

May be on Mac you have a different path separator?
