Hmmm... I may be missing something. But if I have a module Foo: 
package Foo;
use AutoLoader qw(AUTOLOAD);
1;
__END__
sub a {print "a\n" }

[download]
and a program: 
use Foo;
a();

[download]
I get the following error: 
Can't locate auto/Foo/autosplit.ix in @INC (@INC contains:

which indicates to me you must install your module before you can test it. Maybe you don't get an error if you've already installed a module that way, but then you're not running the development version, but the installed version!

Or are we talking about different things, as you are talking about "Autoload" and I'm talking about AutoLoader?
