I'm not sure that there's a way to use your normal system path, but you can add directories to the shell path in the "System Shell" pane under the Console plugin's options screen.

I'm rather surprised, though, that perl didn't work for you since the default system shell path in Console appears to include "/usr/bin". I have no problems running something like "perl -h" (running on Snow Leopard, although not the most recent version of jEdit). If you've done a custom install of perl you'll likely need to use the extra PATH option mentioned above.
