+(D) Perl versions before 5.004 misinterpreted any type marker followed

+=item Use of inherited AUTOLOAD for non-method %s() is deprecated

+(D) As an (ahem) accidental feature, C<AUTOLOAD> subroutines are looked

+be autoloaded were called as plain functions (e.g. C<Foo::bar()>), not
+as methods (e.g. C<Foo->bar()> or C<$obj->bar()>).
+
+This bug will be rectified in Perl 5.005, which will use method lookup
+only for methods' C<AUTOLOAD>s. However, there is a significant base
+of existing code that may be using the old behavior. So, as an
+interim step, Perl 5.004 issues an optional warning when non-methods
+use inherited C<AUTOLOAD>s.
+
+The simple rule is: Inheritance will not work when autoloading
+non-methods. The simple fix for old code is: In any module that used to

+C<BaseClass>, execute C<*AUTOLOAD = \&BaseClass::AUTOLOAD> during startup.
