Hmm, it still contains the base.pm INC mess. I thought there was some
consensus to revert it back to the 5.24.0 state?

See the "Alternative Fix for base.pm dot-in-INC mechanic." p5p
thread. As stated there, the current code punishes those cases where
the old code was perfectly safe, and leads to unpredictable
behavior in the problematic cases (when %{"$base\::"} is not empty).

I don't see how you can ship that as a maintenance update.

Cheers,
  Michael.
