| Subject: | Alien-wxWidgets: ./Build fails with perl 5 blead: no dot by default in @INC |
In Perl 5.26.0, '.' will no longer be found by default in @INC. Today I attempted to Build this library against Perl 5 blead. I had to apply the following patches to get 'blead-perl Build.PL' to complete successfully and for './Build' to start off successfully.

For this library -- and for other CPAN distributions such as Wx which depend on this one -- a new CPAN release will be needed for perl-5.26.0 compatibility.
Thank you very much.
