Issue 1

The file produced by fatpack installs a hook into the mechanism used by use/require/do. As such, fatpack can only package files which are loaded using use/require/do. It presumes that .pm are loaded this way, but it presumes that .al files aren't loaded that way. Thus the error.

The .al files are probably Perl subs that are autoloaded (read from disk, compiled and executed when called). If so, it's possible that use/require/do is used to load them. And if that is so, it becomes an issue of convincing fatpack to treat .al files as .pm. It might already do that; the message might just be warning that things might not work.

If they're not loaded using use/require/do, fatpack can't help you. The module won't be able to find these files when it looks for them.

Issue 2

fatpack relies on .packlist files created for installed modules. You could create one.
