            Bug ID: 174200
           Summary: setupgitclone.py needs to be updated in order to work
                    with Perl 5.26.0+
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests

Perl 5.26.0 introduces an important backwards incompatible change: the current working directory is no longer part of `@INC` by default.

http://blogs.perl.org/users/sawyer_x/2017/05/perl-5260-is-now-available.html

This makes invocations like this fail:

perl -e "use VCSUtils; ..."

In order to work with new versions of Perl, the current working directory must be added to the include path before running the `use` instruction, e.g:

perl -e "use lib '.'; use VCSUtils; ..."

setupgitclone.py has two of these invocations.
