Re^5: Generic/Variable/Dynamic Subroutines? (Not a redefine) (updated)

I don't doubt there are still useful cases, I'm using AUTOLOAD a lot.

But autosplit was particularly useful when RAM, disk access and processor speed were bigger issues.

I'm reluctant to explain a newbie how to use a rocket instead of the bus.
