perlfunc's documentation for "do EXPR" says:
do EXPR Uses the value of EXPR as a filename and executes the contents of
the file as a Perl script.
do 'stat.pl';
is largely like
eval `cat stat.pl`;
But it's not like that eval at all, because do no longer searches the
current working directory. You now have to write:
do './stat.pl'
That also means it's not really using the value of EXPR as a filename
(compare to, e.g., "open" which also takes a filename).
Surprisingly, even though the above works, this does not:
do 'subdir/file.pl'
seems as if q{./} is doing something magical.
This breaks Config::Any::Perl, or at least a lot of usages of it that
used to work. Filing a bug there as well.
