Bingo. This feature should be off by default if it exists. It should
only be turned on if the user specifies it explicitly.

Otherwise you can write a module that accidentally uses your ~/.perlrc
settings, publish it to CPAN (or commercially!), and wind up with a
horribly broken module in the real world. Or, you can download a script,
and it doesn't work because of your ~/.perlrc. Either one is bad.
