I'm trying to deobfuscate a web script written by another (no longer available), and I've uncovered a tangle.

The script has a use KS; statement, and later calls a subroutine within that module.

However, the code for that module appears to be nearly unmodified starting module code from h2xs. (documentation stub, an AUTOLOAD routine, and exporting a few variables that aren't set)

The script works however, so the module must be working. I just can't find where it works it's magic.

Any ideas? (I have no experience with the perl debugger, so if that's my fallback a few pointers on which parts of the documentation to focus on to answer this would be appreciated.)
