I'm not entirely sure that what I am about to suggest is very sensible as it may well break all sorts of other things, so anyone of a sensitive nature should look away now.

It is entirely possible to add an AUTOLOAD subroutine to the UNIVERSAL package which every other package inherits from implicity, so you can do something like:

#!/usr.bin/perl use strict; use warnings; Foo::Bar->baz(); Foo::Bar->baz(); package UNIVERSAL; sub AUTOLOAD { my ($class, @args) = @_; our $AUTOLOAD; (my $method = $AUTOLOAD) =~ s/.*:://; print "$AUTOLOAD was called via autoload\n"; no strict 'refs'; *{$AUTOLOAD} = sub { print "I'm alive\n"}; $class->$method; }
This creates your methods in unknown packages on the fly. If you want to do subclassing on the fly you can do something like:
#!/usr.bin/perl use strict; use warnings; Foo::Bar->baz(); Foo::Bar->baz(); package UNIVERSAL; sub AUTOLOAD { my ($class, @args) = @_; our $AUTOLOAD; (my $method = $AUTOLOAD) =~ s/.*:://; (my $parent = $class) =~ s/::[^:]*$//; print "$AUTOLOAD was called via autoload\n"; no strict 'refs'; push @{"${class}::ISA"},$parent; $class->$method; } package Foo; sub baz { my ($self) = @_; print "I'm alive\n"; }

But don't say I didn't warn you that this was probably a bad idea

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
