Subject: Sys-Info: Configuration fails on perl 5 blead: no dot in default @INC
In Perl 5.26.0, '.' will no longer be found by default in @INC. One consequence of this is that in statements such as: do $file; will fail if $file is simply 'some_file'. It will have to be './some_file'. Attached is a patch that will enable Makefile.PL to complete successfully. Please evaluate and, if it is acceptable, generate a new CPAN release. Thank you very much. Jim Keenan

Can someone please explain how that Makefile.PL or builder/ gets into this dist? It is not part of the git repo but probably auto-generated. But I don't know how. I only see a SPEC file in git, not sure to which of the installers this belongs, I seem to have lost track what's happening in CPAN. :-) Probably simply re-uploading new releases wiht new builder version would solve that problem. Same for all other Sys::Info modules. Steffen On Sun Apr 02 21:14:25 2017, JKEENAN wrote: Show quoted text
