sh is the POSIX shell and is the oldest of the UNIX shells, I think.
bash is the born again shell and is included in all modern Linux distributions.
There are other shells, like ksh and csh available too, but they are seldom used nowadays.
Why would you want to have rc.local being executed with perl, when you add #!/usr/bin/perl as the first line
If you like to have it executed with bash you need to use #!/usr/bin/bash or #!/bin/bash as the first line.
The #!{path to shell} tells the command interpreter, which shell he needs to use to execute the script.
Use man sh in a terminal to get an explanation of the command line parameters of the shell.
