 C<require>, or C<use> constructs look for their library files.  It
 initially consists of the arguments to any B<-I> command-line
 switches, followed by the default Perl library, probably
-F</usr/local/lib/perl>, followed by ".", to represent the current
-directory.  ("." will not be appended if taint checks are enabled,
-either by C<-T> or by C<-t>, or if configured not to do so by the
-C<-Ddefault_inc_excludes_dot> compile time option.)  If you need to
-modify this at runtime, you should use the C<use lib> pragma to get
-the machine-dependent library properly loaded also:

+Prior to Perl 5.26, C<.> -which represents the current directory, was included
