please read perldata.
Global symbol "$AUTOLOAD" requires explicit package name seems to make a liar out of perlsub. I get from the docs that $AUTOLOAD will be set to be a part of the package the routine is in, but it doesn't seem to behave that way.
$AUTOLOAD is not a fully qualified and does not have an explicit package name.
perlsub is not a liar.
$PACKAGE::AUTOLOAD is fully qualified.
$main::AUTOLOAD is fully qualified.
$AUTOLOAD is not.
Try it out. 
perl -MData::Dumper -e"package FOXY;$FOXY;print Dumper \%FOXY::"
perl -MData::Dumper -we"package FOXY;$FOXY;print Dumper \%FOXY::"

perl -MData::Dumper -e"package FOXY;my $FOXY;print Dumper \%FOXY::"
perl -MData::Dumper -we"package FOXY;my $FOXY;print Dumper \%FOXY::"

perl -MData::Dumper -e"package FOXY;$FOXY::FOXY;print Dumper \%FOXY::"
perl -MData::Dumper -we"package FOXY;$FOXY::FOXY;print Dumper \%FOXY::
+"

perl -MData::Dumper -e"package FOXY;our $FOXY;print Dumper \%FOXY::"

perl -MData::Dumper -we"package FOXY;our $FOXY;print Dumper \%FOXY::"
