So, a couple days ago I packaged up and submitted perl-autodie, with an eye towards geting perl-Git-CPAN-Patch in. autodie provides a new Fatal.pm that needs to override core Fatal; which is easy enough now 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.
Ralf, you had some objections on the review ticket. Would you care to elaborate here?

[1] Or will shortly have. There are some variations in @INC between the releases, but only with respect to additional library paths we provide; site, vendor, core order is maintained.
