Hi monks,

I've not used AutoLoader before. I read that its purpose is to defer the loading of some subroutines until they are used rather than loading them all at once.

Is it always good to use AutoLoader then? Currently, I've code as follows: 

package Module2;

use autouse Module1 => qw(some_func);

sub func1 {
  some_func();
...
}
sub func2 {
...
}

1;

How does "autouse" work with AutoLoader?

What are the things to look out for when using AutoLoader?

Thanks in anticipation :)

Edited AutoLoad to read AutoLoader. Thanks to Sporty!
