I was worried about this :(.

I am not familar with Perl enough (at all haha) to know if that is
possible. I don't know exactly what these Perl files do, but perhaps it
might make sense to have some global lookup table that is setup near the
beginning of the script.
perl_files = {
'Catalog.pm': files('path/to/Catalog.pm'),
...
}
Otherwise, manual as it is in the original patch seems like an alright
compromise for now.
