The B<AutoSplit> module can then be run manually to +extract the definitions into individual files F<auto/funcname.al>. + +B<AutoLoader> implements an AUTOLOAD subroutine. When an undefined +subroutine in is called in a client module of B<AutoLoader>, +B<AutoLoader>'s AUTOLOAD subroutine attempts to locate the subroutine in a +file with a name related to the location of the file from which the +client module was read. As an example, if F<POSIX.pm> is located in +F</usr/local/lib/perl5/POSIX.pm>, B<AutoLoader> will look for perl +subroutines B<POSIX> in F</usr/local/lib/perl5/auto/POSIX/*.al>, where +the C<.al> file has the same name as the subroutine, sans package. If +such a file exists, AUTOLOAD will read and evaluate it, +thus (presumably) defining the needed subroutine. AUTOLOAD will then +C<goto> the newly defined subroutine. + +Once this process completes for a given function, it is defined, so +future calls to the subroutine will bypass the AUTOLOAD mechanism. + +=head2 Subroutine Stubs + +In order for object method lookup and/or prototype checking to operate +correctly even when methods have not yet been defined it is necessary to +"forward declare" each subroutine (as in C<sub NAME;>). See +L<perlsub/"SYNOPSIS">. Such forward declaration creates "subroutine +stubs", which are place holders with no code. + +The AutoSplit and B<AutoLoader> modules automate the creation of forward +declarations. The AutoSplit module creates an 'index' file containing +forward declarations of all the AutoSplit subroutines. When the +AutoLoader module is 'use'd it loads these declarations into its callers +package. + +Because of this mechanism it is important that B<AutoLoader> is always +C<use>d and not C<require>d. + +=head2 Using B<AutoLoader>'s AUTOLOAD Subroutine + +In order to use B<AutoLoader>'s AUTOLOAD subroutine you I<must> +explicitly import it: + + use AutoLoader 'AUTOLOAD'; + +=head2 Overriding B<AutoLoader>'s AUTOLOAD Subroutine + +Some modules, mainly extensions, provide their own AUTOLOAD subroutines. +They typically need to check for some special cases (such as constants) +and then fallback to B<AutoLoader>'s AUTOLOAD for the rest. + +Such modules should I<not> import B<AutoLoader>'s AUTOLOAD subroutine. +Instead, they should define their own AUTOLOAD subroutines along these +lines: + + use AutoLoader; + use Carp; + + sub AUTOLOAD { + my $sub = $AUTOLOAD; + (my $constname = $sub) =~ s/.*:://; + my $val = constant($constname, @_ ? $_[0] : 0); + if ($! != 0) { + if ($! =~ /Invalid/ || $!{EINVAL}) { + $AutoLoader::AUTOLOAD = $sub; + goto &AutoLoader::AUTOLOAD; + } + else { + croak "Your vendor has not defined constant $constname"; + } + } + *$sub = sub { $val }; # same as: eval "sub $sub { $val }"; + goto &$sub; + } + +If any module's own AUTOLOAD subroutine has no need to fallback to the +AutoLoader's AUTOLOAD subroutine (because it doesn't have any AutoSplit +subroutines), then that module should not use B<AutoLoader> at all. + +=head2 Package Lexicals + +Package lexicals declared with C<my> in the main block of a package +using B<AutoLoader> will not be visible to auto-loaded subroutines, due to +the fact that the given scope ends at the C<__END__> marker. A module +using such variables as package globals will not work properly under the +B<AutoLoader>. + +The C<vars> pragma (see L<perlmod/"vars">) may be used in such +situations as an alternative to explicitly qualifying all globals with +the package namespace. Variables pre-declared with this pragma will be +visible to any autoloaded routines (but will not be invisible outside +the package, unfortunately). + +=head2 Not Using AutoLoader + +You can stop using AutoLoader by simply + + no AutoLoader; + +=head2 B<AutoLoader> vs. B<SelfLoader> + +The B<AutoLoader> is similar in purpose to B<SelfLoader>: both delay the +loading of subroutines. + +B<SelfLoader> uses the C<__DATA__> marker rather than C<__END__>. +While this avoids the use of a hierarchy of disk files and the +associated open/close for each routine loaded, B<SelfLoader> suffers a +startup speed disadvantage in the one-time parsing of the lines after +C<__DATA__>, after which routines are cached. B<SelfLoader> can also +handle multiple packages in a file. + +B<AutoLoader> only reads code as it is requested, and in many cases +should be faster, but requires a mechanism like B<AutoSplit> be used to +create the individual files. L<ExtUtils::MakeMaker> will invoke +B<AutoSplit> automatically if B<AutoLoader> is used in a module source +file. + +=head1 CAVEATS + +AutoLoaders prior to Perl 5.002 had a slightly different interface. Any +old modules which use B<AutoLoader> should be changed to the new calling +style. Typically this just means changing a require to a use, adding +the explicit C<'AUTOLOAD'> import if needed, and removing B<AutoLoader> +from C<@ISA>. + +On systems with restrictions on file name length, the file corresponding +to a subroutine may have a shorter name that the routine itself. This +can lead to conflicting file names. The I<AutoSplit> package warns of +these potential conflicts when used to split a module. + +AutoLoader may fail to find the autosplit files (or even find the wrong +ones) in cases where C<@INC> contains relative paths, B<and> the program +does C<chdir>. + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L<SelfLoader> - an autoloader that doesn't use external files. + +=head1 AUTHOR + +C<AutoLoader> is maintained by the perl5-porters.
