These all look more reasonable now​:

my $x = package {...}
The following packages were stubbed but not defined​:
  <anon>

package {}
<anon>()
my $x = package Foo {}
Foo()
my $x = our package { ... }
The following packages were stubbed but not defined​:
  <anon>

my $x = our package Foo { ... }
The following packages were stubbed but not defined​:
  Foo

Tests needed.
