-Di switch is now required for PerlIO debugging output
Previously PerlIO debugging output would be sent to the file specified
by the "PERLIO_DEBUG" environment variable if perl wasn't running setuid
and the -T or -t switches hadn't been parsed yet.
If perl performed output at a point where it hadn't yet parsed its
switches this could result in perl creating or overwriting the file
named by "PERLIO_DEBUG" even when the -T switch had been supplied.
Perl now requires the -Di switch to produce PerlIO debugging output. By
default this is written to "stderr", but can optionally be redirected to
a file by setting the "PERLIO_DEBUG" environment variable.
If perl is running setuid or the -T switch was supplied "PERLIO_DEBUG"
is ignored and the debugging output is sent to "stderr" as for any other
-D switch.
Core modules and tools no longer search "." for optional modules
The tools and many modules supplied in core no longer search the default
current directory entry in @INC for optional modules. For example,
Storable will remove the final "." from @INC before trying to load
Log::Agent.
This prevents an attacker injecting an optional module into a process
run by another user where the current directory is writable by the
attacker, e.g. the /tmp directory.
