in reply to Why does this work? AUTOLOAD sans sub declaration

What works "half-way" about it?

I was all set to say that this is documented behavior, but then I couldn't find where it was documented. I guess it's just part of the things I've picked up over time that one of the ways that all-caps sub names are special is that the word "sub" is optional.

Anyone know what POD this is documented in or if it's documented at all?

    Not all all-caps functions imply the sub. The tie-related ones don't.
