Hmm... you are right about that, and it certainly is not intuitive that Perl would “stop searching.”   Thanks for pointing that out.

    As a final follow-up. This is apparently new behaviour and mentioned in the perl 5.18 release notes:

    When require encounters an unreadable file, it now dies. It used to ignore the file and continue searching the directories in @INC [perl #113422].
