At least I am not.
I'm not sure. Where *should* autosplit-ted bits of noarch packages go?
$ man AutoLoader

DESCRIPTION
...
AutoLoader implements an AUTOLOAD subroutine. When an undefined
subroutine in is called in a client module of AutoLoader, AutoLoader's
AUTOLOAD subroutine attempts to locate the subroutine in a file with a
name related to the location of the file from which the client module
was read.
As an example, if POSIX.pm is located in
/usr/local/lib/perl5/POSIX.pm, AutoLoader will look for perl subroutines
POSIX in /usr/local/lib/perl5/auto/POSIX/*.al, where the ".al"
file has the same name as the subroutine, sans package.
So it would appear that perl-MailTools does this correctly:

Robin, is it OK for me to reopen #73970 and then mark #213561 as a
duplicate of that since I don't think I can reassign an Extras bug to a
Core component i.e. perl.
