Re^2: What package is the method in?

This doesn't look right. Perl's dispatcher will search through the entire @INC plus UNIVERSAL for the method. If it can't find it, it repeats the search from the beginning for AUTOLOAD. So if the first parent defines AUTOLOAD and the second parent defines sub foo {}, the second parent's foo {} is called before the first parent's AUTOLOAD.

Thanks, Fixed. Since one should override `can` when one has an `AUTOLOAD`, I only search for AUTOLOAD if the class reports it has such a method.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
