Well, perl already owns the other 'auto' directories for pretty much the
same reason:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=73970
I don't see any reason not to do the same thing here and go with option
#2
Any objections?
If not, Paul, feel free to re-assign the bug to me and the perl package.
