+=head1 NAME
+
+AutoLoader - load subroutines only on demand
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ package Foo;
+ use AutoLoader 'AUTOLOAD'; # import the default AUTOLOAD subroutine
+
+ package Bar;
+ use AutoLoader; # don't import AUTOLOAD, define our own
+ sub AUTOLOAD {
+ ...
+ $AutoLoader::AUTOLOAD = "...";
+ goto &AutoLoader::AUTOLOAD;
+ }
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The B<AutoLoader> module works with the B<AutoSplit> module and the
+C<__END__> token to defer the loading of some subroutines until they are
+used rather than loading them all at once.
+
+To use B<AutoLoader>, the author of a module has to place the
+definitions of subroutines to be autoloaded after an C<__END__> token.
+(See L<perldata>.) 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>.
