in reply to Looking for wrong file to find package methods

You are inheriting from something that inherits from an 'autoload' module. You can fix this by avoiding either of the two inheritance steps. Or you can add your own AUTOLOAD method so that 'autoload' module's one doesn't get called.

For example, this is found in my Win32API::Registry module:

# Since we ISA DynaLoader which ISA AutoLoader, we ISA AutoLoader so w +e # need this next chunk to prevent Win32API::Registry->nonesuch() from # looking for "nonesuch.al" and producing confusing error messages: use vars qw($AUTOLOAD); sub AUTOLOAD { require Carp; Carp::croak( "Can't locate method $AUTOLOAD via package Win32API::Registry" ) +; }
