I'm stupid.

I'm trying to dynamically construct a call to an autoloaded function of a class. The class isn't in my control. I can't come up with the right syntax for the line below the comment in the supplied non-functional example. It looks like it does because I have been flailing. 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;

my %vars = ( 'user_login'         => { req =>  1 },
             'user_passwd'        => { req =>  1 },
             'user_display'       => { req =>  0 },
           );

my $f = Foo->new();

while ( (my ($key,$atr)) = (each %vars))
{
  print "$key, $atr\n";

  # eg, trying to construct and call autoloaded
  # $f->prefix_user_login method.

  &$f->"prefix_$key"( $atr);
}


package Foo;

sub new       { return bless( { }, shift); }

sub AUTOLOAD  { 
     use vars '$AUTOLOAD'; 
     print "autoloaded method: $AUTOLOAD \n"; 
}

sub DESTROY   {}

I genuflect.
