Lacking other suggestions, here is something that almost works and that is described below. But now the problem devolves into being able to overwrite or chain after SelfLoader::AUTOLOAD if SelfLoader is use'd.

Alternatively if I could trap, replace, or chain on a use SelfLoader that would work too.

I've written a replacement for SelfLoader called Devel::Trepan::SelfLoader and this can be distributed with Devel::Trepan.

The problem I encounter is that the debugger can be and often is loaded before the program to be debugged. So when the debugged program issues a use SelfLoader any AUTOLOAD or SelfLoader::AUTOLOAD code that I've written gets redefined. It looks like AUTOLOAD isn't chained by default, but instead the last one defined is used.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

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).
