You are inheriting from something that inherits from an 'autoload' module. You can fix this by avoiding either of the two inheritance steps. Or you can add your own AUTOLOAD method so that 'autoload' module's one doesn't get called.

For example, this is found in my Win32API::Registry module:

# Since we ISA DynaLoader which ISA AutoLoader, we ISA AutoLoader so w
+e
# need this next chunk to prevent Win32API::Registry->nonesuch() from
# looking for "nonesuch.al" and producing confusing error messages:
use vars qw($AUTOLOAD);
sub AUTOLOAD {
    require Carp;
    Carp::croak(
      "Can't locate method $AUTOLOAD via package Win32API::Registry" )
+;
}

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.
