:

$ perl -Mautodie -E 'stat("/foobar"); say $!; say "alive"'
No such file or directory
alive

IMHO, autodie should die here too.

In fact, at least every function in perlfunc that can set $! should be
wrapped by autodie.

People often use stat to look for the presence of a file. I don't think this is doable without breaking a lot of existing code.
