.SH "NAME"
Class::WhiteHole \- base class to treat unhandled method calls as errors
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 1
\&  package Bar;
\&
\&  # DBI inherits from DynaLoader which inherits from AutoLoader
\&  # Bar wants to avoid this accidental inheritance of AutoLoader.
\&  use base qw(Class::WhiteHole DBI);
.Ve
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Its possible to accidentally inherit an \s-1AUTOLOAD\s0 method.  Often this
will happen if a class somewhere in the chain uses AutoLoader or
defines one of their own.  This can lead to confusing error messages
when method lookups fail.
.PP
Sometimes you want to avoid this accidental inheritance.  In that
case, inherit from Class::WhiteHole.  All unhandled methods will
produce normal Perl error messages.
.SH "BUGS & CAVEATS"
.IX Header "BUGS & CAVEATS"
Be sure to have Class::WhiteHole before the class from which you're
inheriting \s-1AUTOLOAD\s0 in the \s-1ISA.\s0  Usually you'll want Class::WhiteHole
to come first.
.PP
If your class inherits autoloaded routines this class may cause them
to stop working.  Choose wisely before using.
.PP
White holes are only a hypothesis and may not really exist.
