If I want to have can awareness I would have to overload can.
You can also predeclare the subs you want to AUTOLOAD.
That can be tricky business.
Not really. If your AUTOLOAD has some logic to determine whether it should generate a subroutine, you can factor that logic into a subroutine shared between AUTOLOAD and an overridden can.
You don't even have to go through gyrations in can to return a reference. Perl 5 autovivifies subroutines if you take references to them in the appropriate way. Of course, you can also factor out the code which installs the reference and share it between can and AUTOLOAD.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
