They are in Event::Watcher to catch exactly this type of mistake.

It isn't too bad. Only the Event package has a custom AUTOLOAD
function. It's purpose is to magically make:
my $w = Event->watcher_type(...);
Short hand for:
require Event::watcher_type;
my $w = Event::watcher_type->new(...);
Hm. Maybe that should be in the documentation somewhere...
