No - it isn't a bug. It can be closed. I googled for such a reason but couldn't find it. Perl was downwards compatible for such a long time that i could not believe it. ;-) Here is the description if some other users will run into the same trap. https://metacpan.org/changes/release/XSAWYERX/perl-5.26.0#Removal-of-the-current-directory-(%22.%22)-from-@INC 5.3.7. Perl changes that may break third-party softwareThe current working directory (|.|) has been removed from the default list of include directories, |@INC|. This may affect usage of |require()|, |do()|, etc., where the arguments are files in the current directory. > However, if you believe that this happened between 5.24.1-3 and > 5.24.1-3+deb9u1, please let us know together with an example script > which used to work and now doesn't.
