Found it! "sub _make_tag_func" gets passed the name of the tag/subroutine to be generated.

I noticed that there was a variable $AUTOLOAD_DEBUG and set it to 1: the resulting debug took me into the _compile subroutine, and I've now just got it to print out the autoloaded code for "sub label" (I still haven't figured out where it's getting it from - but it's certainly progress.)

Could someone explain to me where > CGI::local is defined, and how perl finds it? Being an html tag, the function to generate it is probably autoloaded. A case insensitive search of CGI.pm for 'autoload' may give a bit more insight. It's possible that your web client doesn't handle xhtml, which is the default style now. In which case it is probably better to specify the -no_xhtml pragma rather than editing CGI.pm. See 'perldoc CGI' for details.
