So, a couple days ago I packaged up and submitted perl-autodie, with

that we have[1] @INC basically matching site, vendor, core in F-9+.
AFACIT the new Fatal is cleanly usable in any Fedora situation without
needing code modifications on the user's part, is only installed when
someone actively chooses to install it (or something else pulls it in as
a prereq), doesn't conflict with any files owned by any other package,
and doesn't need any deep magic to get it working.
Ehh, I'm not really thinking that overriding core Fatal is a good idea
here. Especially not in a Fedora package. Why doesn't it just namespace
it (e.g. autodie-Fatal.pm)?
