in thread Automatically load module on startup?

AutoLoader doesn't load modules. If perl receives an undefined subroutine, it starts looking in the auto directory for it. If it finds the proper .al file, it uses it.

Despite AutoLoader not loading full modules, it may be something that the OP may want to look at.
