in thread Short version of autoload

It is traditional to put a goto there for exactly that reason. However this time I know it won't matter.

Besides which a friend of mine demonstrated to me that jumping from sub to sub with goto could lead to a memory leak (he wrote a tail-recursive sub with a goto and after several runs with large argument lists ran out of memory) so I don't use that goto unless I really feel it is necessary for Perl to work correctly.

I don't know if that bug has been reported to p5p yet. At the time I intended to check whether it still existed in a development version and then report it, but then I got busy...
