I'm afraid there's not much we can do here. /etc/perl/sitecustomize.pl
was a temporary workaround which is gone for good now.

It seems that you are using sql-ledger 3.2.4 which is not packaged in
Debian and installed in /usr/local/sql-ledger, and that this version
is not updated to work with Perl 5.26. (I had a brief look at 3.2.5
and it looks like it still does the same "do $file").

https://metacpan.org/pod/release/XSAWYERX/perl-5.26.0/pod/perldelta.pod#Removal-of-the-current-directory-%28%22.%22%29-from-@INC
has background information and a couple of suggestions to remedy the
situation which you can try yourself and/or suggest to the sql-ledger
upstream authors.

(Not closing the bug report yet in case the perl maintainers have
something to add.)


Cheers,
gregor
