Since when AUTOLOAD not longer DESTROYs?

vsespb has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

subj.

$ perlbrew exec --with perl-5.16.1 perl -w -e 'package XX; sub AUTOLOA
+D { die }; package main;  bless {}, "XX"; '
perl-5.16.1
==========
    (in cleanup) Died at -e line 1.


$ perlbrew exec --with perl-5.18.1 perl -w -e 'package XX; sub AUTOLOA
+D { die }; package main;  bless {}, "XX"; '
perl-5.18.1
==========


$ perlbrew exec --with perl-5.18.1 perl -w -e 'package XX; sub DESTROY
+ { die }; package main;  bless {}, "XX"; '
perl-5.18.1
==========
    (in cleanup) Died at -e line 1.

Did not find anything in perldelta. Just wondering when this changed and why.

That's a bug introduced in 5.18 I think.	[reply]
