This is not new - it has (to my knowledge) always been there.

If you check the Git installation folder you'll find a .../usr directory 
and a .../usr/bin inside - that one contains Perl as well as hundreds of 
other Unix utilities. If you add this to your PATH variable you will 
have access to all of them.

Git on Windows replicates a bit of the Unix hierarchy in its 
installation folder. But it only exposes a small subset to the Windows 
command line through the .../bin or .../cmd folders.
