Bug#869653: Local path for modules not included any more

[Karsten]

Package: perl
Version: 5.24.1-3+deb9u1
Severity: normal

Hello,

suddenly my perl scripts will not find modules in the local path anymore.
Is this a bug or a new feature?


Error message:

Can't locate mymodule.pm in @INC (you may need to install the haarpconfig module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl
/usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.24.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.24.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.24
/usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.24 /usr/share/perl/5.24 /usr/local/lib/site_perl
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base) at ./myscript.pl line 61.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./myscript.pl line 61.


Now for every script that uses modules in the local path the path have to be defined like:
use lib "/path/to/local/modules"; # http://perldoc.perl.org/perlrun.html#ENVIRONMENT


Regards
Karsten
