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

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.
Well, IMHO, that's _way_ to weakly phrased.
Especially not in a Fedora package. Why doesn't it just namespace
it (e.g. autodie-Fatal.pm)?
Agreed.
=> different explicit "use/requires".
=> only modules explicitly "use/require"-ing this module would be affected.
An alternative would be to postpone integration of this package into
Fedora until core's Fatal.pm has been updated to meet this package's
requirements.
