The version of Path::Class in Fedora is now over 15 months old and there have been four new upstream releases since 0.18, some adding useful new functionality. Could you update perl-Path-Class - at least in Rawhide - to the most recent version? I would be happy to maintain/co-maintain this package if you are busy or no longer interested in it.
