in reply to AUTOLOAD fails in perl 5.8.0

I think you should bring this up on P5P . Only those people know if this is a bug or a feature (AKA a fixed bug), and if it's indeed a bug, only they can do something about it.

p.s. Sorry I couldn't give you a more detailed link, the server is currently not working well. I think the email address is <p5p@perl.org>, but don't take my word for it.

    Ive been meaning to get bleadperl up and running and test this code but its been too busy today. If and or when I do, if it still exists then I will file a bug report. (although maybe a bug report is needed either way. It looks like there a variety of reasons to release a 5.8.1 (ie: horrible memory leak when using sockets under default conditions)

    However the p5p list is actually perl5-porters@perl.org

      The problem still exists in the perl@17882 snapshot. In the meantime I have filed a bug report from my stable 5.8.0 version under Ticket#17967

        Yes I know. But it had some strange characters in it...
