This is a bug report for perl from frank.wiegand@gmail.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.36 running under perl 5.10.0.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]

Unshifting the »./« path to @INC leads to wrong results in the %INC hash:

  % pwd
  /tmp
  
  % cat Foo.pm
  package Foo;
  1;
  
  % perl -le 'unshift @INC, "./"; require Foo; print $INC{"Foo.pm"}'
  /Foo.pm

Output should be »./Foo.pm«, »/Foo.pm« does not exist.


Note: This does not affect all dotty/slashy/relative paths:

  % perl -le 'unshift @INC, "./."; require Foo; print $INC{"Foo.pm"}'
  ./Foo.pm


Thanks to Christoph Lamprecht, who presented this bug at yesterdays Berlin.pm meeting.

Bye, Frank
