| Subject: | Makefile.PL fails when no '.' in @INC ( Can't locate inc/Module/Install.pm ) |
Both `use inc::Module::Install` and the line `$(PERL) -M_GenerateMyXS -E '_GenerateMyXS::generate()` break on all Perls' beyond 5.25.11 where @INC no longer includes '.'
The good news is the fix is easy, and attached, and tested to work on 5.26
