As I said, AIX's @INC will be different to Debian's by default, so
packaged Perl modules may not be available in @INC. (Even if it happens
to work at the moment, it may not in the future.) Requiring all the Perl
scripts in Debian to specify @INC explicitly would be absurd, and
moreover wrong as that should be controlled by the perl package.
