Bug#869994: proposed fix

Yeah I tend to run several customised instances in lots of locations so
FindBin is less fragile for me and works most like the 'dot' did.
So hopefully it saves someone some time.

Greetings all using FindBin and adding the current directory everywhere
sql-ledger calls perl should fix the issue in all versions.
An example perl script would be:

perl -0777 -i.original -pe 's/(#!\/usr\/bin\/perl)/$1\n#perl 5.25 Fix:\nuse
FindBin qw\(\$Bin\);\nuse lib \"\$Bin\"\;/igs' *.pl
