Also you should keep in mind that Perl::Critic will complain about builtin function overwrites. Choosing different names spares you these automatic review comments.

It's "may complain" not "will complain". P::C is configurable in all things.

I love P::C, but changing code just to make a comment disappear isn't what it's about. It highlights things that may be problems. Change them if it makes your code better. If <code>$door->open</open> is more intention revealing than the alternatives leave it alone.
