Except perl doesn't understand the ~username syntax, so a path starting with ~username will never be the current path, because perl won't expand the tilde.

Good point. It works on the command line tho' as that's expanded by the shell.

(And I've never heard this before, perlsec doesn't say anything that I can see about taint mode removing the current directory from @INC, and a quick test with 5.8.0 and 5.6.1 doesn't show this behavior.)

Strange. It works here with both 5.6.0 and 5.6.1. Don't know why it isn't in perlsec tho'.

$ perl -le 'print "@INC"'
/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i586-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0 /usr/lib/perl5/si
+te_perl/5.6.0/i586-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0 /usr/lib/perl
+5/site_perl .
$ perl -Tle 'print "@INC"'
/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i586-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0 /usr/lib/perl5/si
+te_perl/5.6.0/i586-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0 /usr/lib/perl
+5/site_perl
