But the thing is that I want to inherit all the methods from the superclass, but I only want to call them in a controlled fashion from AUTOLOAD when certain conditions are met. My idea was to do something like this: 
sub AUTOLOAD {
  my $self=shift;
  my $method=$AUTOLOAD;
  $method=~s/^.*:://;
  if (certain conditions are met) {
    do something
  }
  else {
    $self->SUPER::$method(@_);
  }
}

The thing is that the check and the "do something" are all the same, but this applies to several methods, that's why I wanted to use AUTOLOAD.

I'm also pretty sure that this cannot be done (all the documentation seems to indicate so) and I have already solved my problem by dynamically defining the necessary subroutines in B's BEGIN block, but I will be glad to hear any other ideas.

Thanks,
