in reply to autoload and selfload

In Object Oriented Perl, Damian Conway makes good use of AUTOLOAD to create accessor methods for object attributes on the fly.

Also, in CGI.pm many of the HTML helper functions are created using AUTOLOAD. This means that the script can generate a new HTML tag without a new version of the module being required.
