Hi there,
about a month ago I used PAUSE's webform to register the
AutoLoader::Register namespace. It looks as though this request hasn't
yet been processed. The following is the data previously entered by me:
modid: AutoLoader::Register
DSLIP: Rdphp
description: Autoloads only registered methods
userid: VPARSEVAL (Tassilo von Parseval)
chapterid: 2 (Perl_Core_Modules)
communities:
comp.lang.perl.modules
similar:
AutoSplit, SelfLoader
rationale:
AutoLoader::Register takes via import() method-names along with
either closures or stringified anonymous subs and makes itself a
superclass of the class use()ing it. Calls to any of the registered
methods will compile the code and mungle it into the caller's
namespace so that further calls to the methods wont trigger the
AutoLoader::Register::AUTOLOADER again. Apart from that it allows
for custom exception-handling if an unknown method has been called.
More to it, you can have AutoLoader::Register import arbitrary
methods from arbitrary classes into your own class without the
necessity of setting up an inheritance-relation. It provides its own
can()-method so that even autoloaded methods will be correctly
reported (as opposed to UNIVERSAL::can)

I am not quite sure (nor dogmatic) about chapter 2 of the modlist...it
would certainly fit in there but the specification as core-module makes
me a little uneasy about that. Alternatively, chapter 20 (control flow)
would be fine as well.
So could please someone pick up this request? Thank you.
Tassilo
