Piece of advice. If you know the names of all of the routines, and they are repetitive enough to AUTOLOAD, why not create them in advance by assigning closures to the symbol table? That is rather than something like this: 
sub AUTOLOAD {
    my @name_pieces = split /::/, $AUTOLOAD;
    my $function = pop @name_pieces;
    my $package = join "::", @name_pieces;

    no strict 'refs';
    *{"$package\::$function"} = get_sub($package, $function);
    goto &{"$package\::$function"};
}

You write something like this: 
for my $package (@packages) {
    for my $function (@functions) {
        no strict 'refs';
        *{"$package\::$function"} = get_sub($package, $function);
    }
}

and now there is no need to write an AUTOLOAD. Which means that chromatic doesn't complain that can doesn't do the right thing, your AUTOLOAD doesn't break when it sees functions you didn't mean to catch, you don't blow the method cache a bunch of times, and life is generally better.
