Below is the code to reproduce the error.

package Homepage;

use strict;
use warnings;
use diagnostics;

require "MRlib.pl";  #this script has logic for AUTOLOAD written, wher
+e it checks for main package and method name and call for require<br/
+>
## Upon using below require it works, otherwise, it throws Use of inhe
+rited AUTOLOAD for non-method FP::Introduction::Introduce() is no lon
+ger allowed at test_autoload.pl line 17. error

## require "C:\\Users\\xxx\\Documents\\Application\\Perl_upgrade\\test
+_autoload\\SUBS\\App\\Introduction.pl";

BEGIN {
    
    *AUTOLOAD = \&FP::AUTOLOAD;
}

print "I started the program\n";

#Below Introduce sub is written in "C:\\Users\\xxx\\Documents\\Applica
+tion\\Perl_upgrade\\test_autoload\\SUBS\\App\\Introduction.pl" script

&FP::Introduction::Introduce;    
print "I got to the end of the program\n";

Try changing

*AUTOLOAD = \&FP::AUTOLOAD;
[download]

to

*FP::Introduction::AUTOLOAD = \&FP::AUTOLOAD;
[download]

so that it matches the call you are making;

Yes. This could explain the issue
• first version had &UNIVERSAL::AUTOLOAD defined which started to cause warnings after deprication
• someone started to add *AUTOLOAD=\&MASTER::AUTOLOAD and got rid of most but not all warnings, because he missed some packages.
• the missed packages which still relied on UNIVERSAL fail now.
consequence
• The &UNIVERSAL::AUTOLOAD is cargo cult now and should be deleted°
• The missed packages must be "repaired"
(untested, till someone provides a real SSCCE)

°) also because it's a horrible idea causing many problems

Hi, Thank you for the suggestion , while it seems to work for the FP package, it is failing with below error for other packages in the code like MRhomepage.
MRhomepage::MRhomepage__getHomepageType() is no longer allowed.
Is there any way to make it more generic?
Thank you
