| Subject: | DB_File uses AutoLoader for no reason |
DB_File loads the AutoLoader module, but doesn't have any autoloaded routines.
This is a bit wasteful.
It's also one of very few modules in the perl code distribution still using AutoLoader. It would be nice to drop this to zero.
I've not done any digging in history to work out why things are they
way they are now.
Patch attached that removes the AutoLoader references.
