Larry Wall's original intention is shown pretty well by Shell. You could choose to pick on various other core modules that use AUTOLOAD.

Some nodes where I have used AUTOLOAD include Class::FlyweightWrapper, Re (tilly) 1: Nested Classes and the poorly implemented Re (tilly) 1: Reverse Inheritance Irritance.

Note that when I've chosen to use AUTOLOAD in the past, it tends to be short. A doable solution which takes considerable overhead to implement is going to underscore my point that, as Perl is currently structured, using AUTOLOAD and can together runs into trouble.
