[Israel.pm] bless and AUTOLOAD

[Yona Shlomo]

Hello,

I have a strange collision using bless and AUTOLOAD.

For example, here a simple Perl script, t.pl, which
demostrates my problem:

        #!/usr/bin/perl
        use strict;
        use warnings;
        use Data::Dumper;

        my $t=T->new();

        package T;

        my $AUTOLOAD;

        sub new {
                my ($class, %arguments) = @_;
                bless {}, $class;
        }

        sub AUTOLOAD {
                print "why am I in AUTOLOAD?!\n";
        }


Surprisingly, for me, when I run t.pl I get:
        why am I in AUTOLOAD?!

So, why am I executing code in AUTOLOAD?

Apparently the $class is to blame in the bless statement,
but I don't know why and I don't know how to avoid this.

Anyone?
