This is/was pretty much expected; see the commentary in
https://github.com/colinnewell/Jenkins-API/issues/18 which has pointers
to most of the discussion of the issue and its effects.

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Perl/Dot-In-INC-Removal#Workarounds
has a set of workarounds; we could always just use the Blunt Weapon of
Wrongness and set PERL_USE_UNSAFE_INC=1 in the appropriate .mk files for
modules that have the "use inc::Module::Install;" construct, too.
