This is indeed version 5.60 of Autoloader, running under perl 5.8.8.

The first few lines are:

package AutoLoader;

use strict;
use 5.006_001;

our($VERSION, $AUTOLOAD);

my $is_dosish;
my $is_epoc;
my $is_vms;
my $is_macos;

BEGIN {
    $is_dosish = $^O eq 'dos' || $^O eq 'os2' || $^O eq 'MSWin32' || $
+^O eq 'NetWare';
    $is_epoc = $^O eq 'epoc';
    $is_vms = $^O eq 'VMS';
    $is_macos = $^O eq 'MacOS';
    $VERSION = '5.60';
}

AUTOLOAD {
    my $sub = $AUTOLOAD;

This is the same code as that cited by Anonymous Monk in http://search.cpan.org/~nwclark/perl-5.8.8/lib/AutoLoader.pm.

Lines 91-2 say:

    local $!; # Do not munge the value.
    eval { local $SIG{__DIE__}; require $filename };

where the previous block (most of the AUTOLOAD sub, in fact) goes to great lengths to establish $filename.

ikegami, I don't believe DDSutils is involved. That just exports a couple of subs and some quasi-constants.No clever BEGIN/END stuff.

I observed that the Autoloader module does not itself use warnings; - I am reminded of another situation in the past where a CPAN module (I don't recall which) peppered my web server error log with warnings when my code ran under #!/usr/bin/perl -w because my invocation was imposing warningfulness on it. . That went away when I replaced #!/usr/bin/perl -w with use warnings; which kept my warnable condition to my own scope. I am just wondering whether something similar could be happening with regard to diagnostics but it seems rather far fetched.

Update: Forgot to say:

This is perl, v5.8.8 built for i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi ; out-of-the-box Ubuntu 8.04 LTS.

This signature will be ready by Christmas
