Since the perlsub POD mentions the AUTOLOAD subroutine in the same sentence as "BEGIN", "CHECK", "INIT", "END", "CLONE" and "DESTROY", I assume it shares some of the same characteristics as the others, the important one in this case being that the <code>sub</code> keyword is implied.
When fed your code, [cpan://B::Deparse] prints the following. Notice how the <code>sub</code> keyword is inserted for the BEGIN subs, as well as the AUTOLOAD sub:
</p>
<code>
package Foo;
use warnings;
use strict 'refs';
our $AUTOLOAD;
sub main::BEGIN {
package main;
no strict 'refs';
require strict;
do {
'strict'->import
};
}
sub main::BEGIN {
package main;
require warnings;
do {
'warnings'->import
};
}
sub new {
return bless({}, shift @_);
}
sub do_something {
print 'did something';
}
sub AUTOLOAD {
print "message from Foo: undefined method ($AUTOLOAD) called";
}
package main;
my $instance = 'Foo'->new;
$instance->do_something;
$instance->do_notimplemented;
</code>
