I think if you've got calls "scattered through" your code, it's time to think about what you're doing. I like to keep my Black Ops-style programming to very small areas, and wherever possible, use intermediate functions to get the goods. In, done, out, and nobody is the wiser.

One way to avoid using AUTOLOAD is to auto-generate your functions. I've found this to be far more effective and flexible.

You can do this like so: 
sub maker
{
     no strict 'refs';

     foreach my $func (qw[ foo bar baz ])
     {
          *{"Foo::$func"} = sub { $func };
     }
}

maker();

print join(',', Foo::foo(), Foo::bar(), Foo::baz()),"\n";

Of course, your code is probably much more complex. Still, no warnings, and you can even use closures.
