 "As an example, if POSIX.pm is located in
  /usr/local/lib/perl5/POSIX.pm, AutoLoader will look for perl
  subroutines POSIX in /usr/local/lib/perl5/auto/POSIX/*.al, where the
  .al file has the same name as the subroutine, sans package. If such a
  file exists, AUTOLOAD will read and evaluate it, thus (presumably)
  defining the needed subroutine. AUTOLOAD will then goto the newly
  defined subroutine."
