There is a new feature in perl, if there is a the script
$Config{siteperl}/sitecustomize.pl present it will be executed.  See
http://search.cpan.org/~nwclark/perl-5.8.7/pod/perlrun.pod#%2Df how to 
disable it or how it may help you until an update of perl with a
workaround is released, from perlrun.pod:

-f

     Disable executing $Config{siteperl}/sitecustomize.pl at startup.

     Perl can be built so that it by default will try to execute 
$Config{siteperl}/sitecustomize.pl at startup. This is a hook that 
allows the sysadmin to customize how perl behaves. It can for instance 
be used to add entries to the @INC array to make perl find modules in 
non-standard locations.


Maybe this feature is also the reason that it behaves different from 
previous releases.
