The real use case is a more complicated implementation of a with construct, where $OBJ is a closure var and AUTOLOAD is localized to the block.

Then show this more complicated implementation. What do you mean by "AUTOLOAD is localized to the block"? Does that mean you have a local *AUTOLOAD; in place? Or is it local $AUTOLOAD?

This reminds me of one piece of programming lore -

  1. writing code is hard
  2. debugging code is harder
  3. if you write your programs as clever as you are, you are, by definition, too dumb to debug them

As for your questions: I'd say no, and no (afaik). Prove me wrong with tests.

perl -le'print map{pack c,($-++?1:13)+ord}split//,ESEL'
