in reply to Does AUTOLOAD exist?

Are you sure it doesn't have an AUTOLOAD? 
$ mkdir -p Test/Pkg
$ echo 'package Thing; 1' > Test/Pkg/Thing.pm
$ perl -w
require Test::Pkg::Thing;
my $func_name = "Test::Pkg::Thing::AUTOLOAD";
if( defined &$func_name ) # not what I expect
{
    print "defined!\n";
}
__END__
$

No output, just as expected.

    Actually it wasn't an issue with this code, it works. *sheepish grin*

    What was causing the issue was Carp.. I was using it to croak if the method didn't exist.. it seems it's not friendly with our code and was trying to execute the nonexistant AUTOLOAD method.

    Thanks :)
