Sorry if the title is not quite appropriate, i dont even know how to properly name what i am asking.

When using a module in a script, CGI.pm for what im specifically working on, function sets can be imported with a use statement such as: 
   use CGI qw(:form);

[download]
...or other funciton sets, etc

I would like to access a list of what functions were explicitly imported. I have my own class that is derived from CGI.pm, which messes with form param names (among other things), and i want to write an AUTOLOAD into my class that intercepts calls to the :form functions, and do certain things before passing them on to CGI.

This will help me immensely. Unfortunately, i know virtually nothing about the mechanisms used for this sort of thing.

Thanks much

Update: I cheated in my own way, and created an autoload that doesnt bother checking the method name, but determines what to do by the param list (using named params)

sub AUTOLOAD {
    my $self = shift @_;
    (my $method = $AUTOLOAD) =~ s/.*:://;
    return if $method eq "DESTROY";

    if ( ! (@_ % 2) ) {
        my %args = @_;

        if ( exists($args{-page}) && exists($args{-param}) ) {
            # appears to be a form element creation call to CGI
            $args{-name} = $self->CreateRawFieldName(-page  =>  $args{
+-page},
                                                    -param  =>  $args{
+-param});
            delete $args{-page};
            delete $args{-param};

            my $parent_call = 'SUPER::' . $method;
            return $self->$parent_call(%args);
        }
    }
}

Not exactly what i wanted to do, but it works for my purposes, it just feels unclean.
