configure issue on build (with workaround)

[ns-bak]

When running the ./configure script at the top level, the script died when it went into the smbase directory with the following error:

Can't locate sm_config.pm in @INC (you may need to install the sm_config module) (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.26.1/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.26.1 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.26.1/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.26.1 /usr/lib/perl5/5.26.1/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.26.1 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl) at ./configure.pl line 6.
configure failed at ./configure.pl line 128.

For some reason, the smbase/configure.pl:6 require sm_config; line was not able to find the sm_config.pm file in the current directory. My guess is I need to update some config setting to make the @INC path see the local directory? (I freely admit that I don't know what I am doing).

I was able to get the entire configure script to work by changing the line in smbase/configure.pl:6 to do "./sm_config.pm";, but that may be undesired. I've never worked with perl before, so I am not sure if the do statement is bad practice or not.
