in thread $functions xor $methods

Only problem is that it requires a hardcoded 'parent' value (unless theres some way to return that?) 
sub AUTOLOAD
{
  if(defined &{__PARENT__::$AUTOLOAD})
  {
    goto &{__PARENT__::$AUTOLOAD}
  }
}

(note i left out the part about getting the right value in $AUTOLOAD, chopping out the package and stuff)

    something like this seems to work and doesn't require hardcoded names. it just grabs the first parent method (in @ISA order) it finds: 
    sub AUTOLOAD {
    no strict;
    my $METHOD;
    ($METHOD = $AUTOLOAD) =~ s/.*:://;
    foreach my $PARENT (@ISA) {
        if(defined &{$PARENT.'::'.$METHOD}) {
            goto &{$PARENT.'::'.$METHOD}
        }
    }
}

    either this, or use Damian's NEXT module.

    SUPER::$AUTOLOAD should work.
