Nothing is being printed. :-) I am having taint mode commented out in my 
/etc/httpd/conf.d/perl.conf file:

# Uncomment this line to enable taint checking globally.  When Perl is
# running in taint mode various checks are performed to reduce the
# risk of insecure data being passed to a subshell or being used to
# modify the filesystem.  Unfortunately many Perl modules are not
# taint-safe, so you should exercise care before enabling it on a
# production server.
#
#PerlSwitches -T

and that's why I am having . included in @INC, I guess.
