+ <title>Change in handling of unreadable module paths by <systemitem role="package">perl</systemitem></title>
+ <para>
+ From version 5.18 (and 5.20, which is included in jessie), perl will
+ exit with a fatal error if it encounters unreadable module paths in
+ <literal>@INC</literal>. The previous behaviour was to skip such
+ entries. It is recommended to check the contents of <literal>@INC</literal>
+ in your environment for directories which are not world-readable, and
+ take appropriate action.
