Well, the whole story goes like this: there used to be a package PerlQt which I happened to like a lot. However the guy who wrote it seems to have abandoned his baby. So I tried to bring it up to date -- when I found that 99% of the code relies on AUTOLOAD, kinda like I described before. Yes, my first reaction was the same: dispatch from Perl, and this is the fix that works for me now (I am yet to try to get in touch with the author again on this) -- however, it means having tons of "use Qt::ThisAndThat;" statements, whereas XS allowed to have a single AUTOLOAD for everything. I have a few ideas how to patch this, however first I wanted to be sure I am not doing something stupid.

Thanx for reply, anyway. I posted to a couple of newsgroups too, and it looks like not to many people are intimately familiar with the topic.

Best,

Mishka
