All of Config::Any's modules used to work with relative paths, but now
that . has been removed from @INC, Config::Any::Perl now doesn't.

That's because: q{do 'file.pl'} and even q{do 'subdir/file.pl'} now fail
(file not found). q{do './file.pl'} and q{do './subdir/file.pl'} both
work, though.

Also, Config::Any::Perl fails to notice this. It checks $@, which
catches when the code doesn't compile, throws an exception, etc., but it
needs to also check $! which reports things like file not found.

I've also filed a bug against perl about how "do EXPR" no longer behaves
as documented, but even if they decide to revert the behavior change,
Config::Any::Perl needs to check $!.
