Re: Removing AUTOLOAD from CGI.pm

    Sounds fair and good. I like and tend to use CGI::Pretty. Sometimes just from the command line to get template snippets.

      That is actually a sane use case, but unfortunately the way CGI::Pretty is written means i can't remove the AUTOLOAD stuff from CGI without breaking the pretty functionality of CGI::Pretty. Not just that, but it contains some very, er, "interesting" code!

      It probably *could* be kept functioning, but i'm not going to spend time on it and would rather deprecate it.

        Understood. Appreciate your efforts!

      BTW the earliest example of a DSL that I encountered. (Ruby do you hear? :)
