No, having '.' last is intentional. Otherwise any accidental file in the current directory would override modules included with Perl itself, potentially breaking other software. It would also be a security risk to have '.' first. Think about someone putting a hacked strict.pm into some world writable directory and then tricking an administrator to invoke a Perl script while being in that directory...
