perl >= 5.26 dropping "." from @INC
New version of perl will no longer include "." from @INC
by default. This causes out perl code that uses "require 'lib/sbin/XXX.pl'" to fail.
Since this will affect the release version a patch needs to be backported.
See https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2016/08/msg00013.html Note that this is not Debian specific but affects all Perl packages.
I will prepare a patch.

This should still be reviewed, please. Steve's suggestion of setting PERL5PATH is not a long term solution (though a good workaround for affected users).

I feel Steve should have the 'authority' here, given that he is the Perl expect among us, and we discussed it in person as well. Steve: could you please review the patch?
