Hello, I'm one of the perl maintainers in Debian. In Debian we're still finalising the release notes for this issue for our next release; I suspect noone thought about communicating this change for Ubuntu :( A couple of observations that might be helpful to you and others:

1) you can revert this change (if you need to) by commenting out the relevant line in /etc/perl/sitecustomize.pl

2) I recommend that you in any case check for 'do' returning false, so that you at least don't get a silent failure.

3) This change is being made in the upcoming 5.26.0 release but for release timing reasons we have made it early.
