in thread Requring minimum perl version in a cpanfile

Your Makefile.PL can be as simple as 

use inc::Module::Install;
name 'Dist-Name';
all_from 'lib/Dist/Name.pm';
do 'cpanfile'; ## as cpanfile uses Module::Install syntax
perl_version '5.666'; ## make it die
WriteAll;

    I think if you want to

    use inc::Module::Install;

    You will need to push '.' onto @INC starting with Perl 5.26.

    So likely the belt-and-suspenders approach would be

    use lib '.';
use inc::Module::Install;

      No, no I don't think so, that would be hella stupid :)

        I interpret this discussion towards the idea of not supporting . in @INC in the future for somewhat plausible security reasons.

        Note that this would not prevent manually adding dot to @INC.

        Update: Also see this bug ticket, which I think was the original report.
