Another option is to set your autoload like this:
sub AUTOLOAD {
my ($self) = @_;
# don't do any work if we are being called for DESTROY
next if(substr($AUTOLOAD, -7) eq 'DESTROY');
$AUTOLOAD =~ /.*::get(_\w+)/
or die "No such method: $AUTOLOAD";
exists $self->{$1}
or die "No such attribute: $1";
return $self->{$1}
}
Notice how it returns if this is a call to destroy?
AUTOLOAD will never be called if there is a DESTROY method. I imagine sub DESTROY {} is faster, but the logic seems easier to maintain and less people will be asking "Why does my autoload work in this class and not that one?"

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
