Re^2: How many ways are there to use AUTOLOAD? (huh?)

This morning's problem was that I was calling $document->gDbh when I should have been calling $document->_gDbh. As a result I was getting the error that method "do" was being called on an undefined object, that is, the undefined value coming back from my bad method call.

For situations where I just called a method but didn't use the return value, I wanted to be sure to catch the typo.

So how does `$document->gDbh` not produce the fatal error: `Can't locate object method "gDbh" via package "...` [download] ? That is what I don't understand and what seems simply broken to me. That is the error I get when I call the wrong method and I don't have to play strange games with AUTOLOAD. - tye	[reply] [d/l] [select]
