but that's the documented solution in perldelta.

Where is your SSCCE to reproduce your problem?

Hi, my code looks below, please ignore previous comment


##script homepage.pl #this script has been located in cgi folder where
+ it also has SUBS/APP folder
package homepage;
our ($AUTOLOAD_DEFINED); # This isn't necessary, but without it you ge
+t a warning when perl uses UNIVERSAL::AUTOLOAD
if (!$AUTOLOAD_DEFINED)  # (from lib.pl): "Use of inherited AUTOLOAD f
+or non-method...". (search for that warning
{                        # text in 'perldoc perldiag' for more info.
    *AUTOLOAD = \&APP::AUTOLOAD; 
    $AUTOLOAD_DEFINED = 1;
}
#
#
#below is the non-method called from the perl file (getStatuses.pl) lo
+cated at cgi/SUBS/APP/Statues
@Statuses   = &APP::Statuses::getStatuses({IsResolvedFlag =>1}); #here
+ is is failing to autoload the script getStatuses.pl.

In other script (lib.pl) where AUTOLOAD function is defined which would control the autoloading part, it also has below line outside of AUTOLOAD function


# use APP package's AUTOLOAD for all packages that don't have their ow
+n
*UNIVERSAL::AUTOLOAD = \&APP::AUTOLOAD;

Note : I cant see anywhere autoLoader module has been used instead AUTOLOAD function has been written.
I hope this helps you to understand the scenario.
Thank you

Sorry I don't know how to reproduce an example with this information ... maybe someone else.

same with  *AUTOLOAD = \&BASE_CLASS::AUTOLOAD;

(shrug) !

I know many dirty workarounds° in Perl but I doubt what you want is possible or even desirable.

°) well as always with Perl ... provided the base class is directly used one could try a source filter to inject sub AUTOLOAD in the importing file. But I wanna be damned before showing how...

FWIW: an even less stable hack would be to write something like an 'INIT {}' or 'CHECK{ }' block to indentify all defined packages/classes after compilation which inherit from the BASE_CLASS:: ( see ->isa in UNIVERSAL )

all those packages could then have a new AUTOLOAD added via eval.

this will not work in all cases because those timing issues in Perl are highly flexible:

• a sub could have been called before compilation finished.
• a class could be defined dynamically afterwards at runtime
• ...
