Ah, that's also how you made a lot of CPAN simply not installable, prompting people who had actual jobs and deadlines just to drop in the variable USE_UNSAFE_INC=1 to get the old behavior back, and call it a day.

Or keep their Perl at 5.24.3.

You never had to do that yourself. cpanminus, cpan, and cpanplus all got patched to do that during installation for you before the release of 5.26.
