       The Method::Autoload base class package is used to autoload methods from a list of packages where you may
       not know what methods are available until run time.  A good use of this package is programming support
       for user contributed packages or user contributed plugins.

DESTROY("Global"method)
       We define DESTROY in this package so that it does not call AUTOLOAD but you may overload this method in
       your package, if you need it.

   AUTOLOAD("Global"method)
       AUTOLOAD is a "global" method.  Please review the limitations on inheriting this method.

   autoload
         my $subref=$object->autoload($class, $method);

packages
       Returns the current list of packages in the "packages" array.

         my @package=$object->packages; #()
         my $package=$object->packages; #[]

   pushPackages
       Pushes packages on to the "packages" array.

         $object->pushPackages("My::Bar");
         $object->pushPackages(@packages);

   unshiftPackages
       Unshifts packages on to the "packages" array.  Use this if you want to override a "default" package.
       Please use with care.

         $object->unshiftPackages("My::Foo");
         $object->unshiftPackages(@packages);

   autoloaded
       Returns a hash of autoloaded methods and the classes that they came from.

         my %hash=$object->autoloaded; #()
         my $hash=$object->autoloaded; #{}
