Ideally you would want to remove ALL relative paths. If you want to go buck wild, I'd recommend removing ALL relative paths from @INC.


Agree. (As the -T mode does the same, so what is valid for '.' there is
valid for all reative paths in @INC)

So better approach:

    BEGIN {
        @INC = grep { !/^\// } @INC;
    }


But, that's basically the same what taint mode does, isn't it?
So, why not add -T to the #! line? This would give us @INC cleansing
*and* additional taint checks.
