Stop over-using inheritance from classes that over-use inheritance so that you end up inheriting from AutoLoader for no good reason. (Did you also know that your MyOwnTable "isa" Exporter and your A "isa" Exporter? Did you want them to be?)

File a bug against the Data::Table module asking that the author remove the "require AutoLoader;" line from his module since AutoLoader's documentation notes:

To use AutoLoader, the author of a module has to place the definitions of subroutines to be autoloaded after an __END__ token.

and the source code for Data/Table.pm has no sub definitions after the __END__ token.

Perhaps ask that author where the "require AutoLoader;" line came from so perhaps some documentation or "help me write a module" tool could be updated to not encourage such inanity.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
