Try it. You'll find that doing combinatorial math with logs of factorials rapidly introduces large errors. For an example see Re^4: Fastest way to calculate hypergeometric distribution probabilities (i.e. BIG factorials)?. That's just one. Once you start adding them together the inaccuracies multiply.

The "good enough" maybe good enough for the now, and perfection maybe unobtainable, but that should not preclude us from striving for perfection, when time, circumstance or desire allow.

print Fishers_Exact::fishers_exact( 989, 9400, 43300, 2400 );
I get these results:

Now, given that your code needs Math::Pari, and the "simple" solution using that module produced the correct answer in 26ms, I can't help wonder what all that messing around with Stirling and Gosper approximations bought you?
I also think that if you are going to require exporter, you might as well let it do it's job and skip all that autoload stuff. And I personally find that littering your code with a dozen BEGIN{} blocks makes it very hard to follow.
