PERL_USE_UNSAFE_INC

Hi,

The perlrun documentation for PERL_USE_UNSAFE_INC begins with:

<quote>
If perl has been configured to not have the current directory in @INC by
default, ....
</quote>

To me, this implies that it is possible to configure perl such that @INC
*does* include the current directory.

Is such a thing possible ?
If so, how ?

With perl-5.35.4 on Ubuntu, I tried adding -DPERL_USE_UNSAFE_INC=1 to the
configure args, but this still resulted in an @INC that did not contain ".".

Cheers,
Rob

-Udefault_inc_excludes_dot, it's documented in INSTALL.

Aaaah ... thank you !!
(I did try checking INSTALL ... but only to the extent of doing a
case-insensitive search for the string "unsafe_inc".)

Cheers,
Rob
