I also don't see the symmetry between AUTOLOAD and AUTOMETH. Two things bother be about that: LOAD versus METH, while it should be SUB versus METH, and that METHOD is abbreviated while in the method keyword it is not. Either it should be abbreviated everywhere: meth foo { ... }, or nowhere: AUTOMETHOD. I personally like the "meth foo { ... }".
S10 talks about how it is AUTOSUB vs AUTOMETH (and others), but AUTOLOAD is still around. S10 doesn't mention it, but I think it's been said that AUTOLOAD only gets called as a last resort.
S10 also mentions that the 'goto' is implicit. I think I like the return of a ref better, since you're not always going to want to build the function out and store it. But the call can be hijacked, so I guess that's okay.
