I read an article by Matthias the other day on perl-5-porters that MacPerl
also, to a limited extent, accepts / paths in require (and so, I presume,
use).  I guess that's why he didn't make the changes I proposed to
AutoLoader himeself, because they aren't necessary.  Matthias, can you tell
us what the rules are for their use?  Based on the changes you made to
AutoLoader, I take it that absolutes don't but relatives do work?

(Incidentally, if anyone active on perl-5-porters wants to pass this along,
the p5p digest is broken and hasn't sent out anything since I subscribed,
although the last time I checked the list server thinks it's an active
list.  I've been following p5p through the private news gateway that Chris
Nandor told me about.)
