Bug #11352 for CGI-Application-Plugin-ConfigAuto: Use of AutoLoader

Wed Feb 02 22:45:13 2005 Guest - Ticket created

Subject:

Use of AutoLoader

Hey Mark, I'm working on tracking down a problem using PAR with one of my projects. In the process, I came across some information about AutoLoader which applies to your plugin. You are subclassing AutoLoader via @ISA (though I can't see that you're really using it in any way; maybe this is carry-over from the pre-plugin code though I couldn't see anywhere in that code where you used it either). According to the AutoLoader docs, this usage has been deprecated for quite awhile: "AutoLoaders prior to Perl 5.002 had a slightly different interface. Any old modules which use AutoLoader should be changed to the new calling style. Typically this just means changing a require to a use, adding the explicit 'AUTOLOAD' import if needed, and removing AutoLoader from @ISA." Removing AutoLoader from @ISA did not appear to affect my script. Alas, it was not the magic bullet to get PAR working. William

William, I think there was some confusing. I don't think ::Plugin::ConfigAuto ever used AutoLoader. We use Exporter: use vars qw($VERSION @ISA @EXPORT_OK); require Exporter; @ISA = qw(Exporter); Re-open the ticket if I've missed something. Mark
