From: Christopher Hoskin <mans0954 [...] debian.org>
In Debian we are currently applying the following patch to Cache-Memcached-libmemcached. We thought you might be interested in it too. Description: Use FindBin to find inc::Module::Install . is no longer included in @INC as of Perl 5.26 due to CVE-2016-1238 Author: Christopher Hoskin <mans0954@debian.org> Last-Update: 2018-09-22 The patch is tracked in our Git repository at https://salsa.debian.org/perl-team/modules/packages/libcache-memcached-libmemcached-perl/raw/master/debian/patches/findbin.patch Thanks for considering, Christopher Hoskin, Debian Perl Group

I don't think this is a good patch. FindBin does a *lot* of things behind the scenes, most of which is unnecessary. The correct minimal change to make here is to add a single line to Makefile.PL: use lib '.'; More properly, this distribution should be transitioned off of Module::Install entirely, but that's a bigger change to make.
