I did open a couple of issues on GitHub, but so far Neil doesn't seem to be interested in them.

=head1 DESCRIPTION
+This module is a fork of L<Module::Path>. It contains features that are not (or
+have not been accepted) in the original module, namely: finding all matches
+instead of the first found match, and finding .pmc/.pod in addition to .pm
+files. There is also a difference of behavior: no abs_path() or symlink
+resolving is being done by default because I think that's the sensible default
+(doing abs_path() or resolving symlinks will sometimes fail or expose filesystem
+quirks that we might not want to deal with at all). However, an C<abs> bool
+option is provided if a user wants to do that.
