[cobalt-developers] Regenerating autoloader files

["Martin Pircher" <cobalt.list@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I wanted to do some tweakings to Cobalt's "special sauce"
(located in \usr\lib\perl5\site_perl\Cobalt) on my (ancient -
I know; somebody else still using it?) Qube2.

However, to succed, I'm in the need of regenerating
the autoloader files (located in /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/auto/Cobalt).

Doing this by simply calling "autosplit" doesn't work as the
generated files lack a specific header with hardcoded
paths and hardcoded global variables (specific to each
perl module) - see sample below.

Cobalt itself used a utility called "autoize" (as outlined by
Cobalt employee Sridhar Gopal in a posting to the cobalt-users
list, see http://list.cobalt.com/oldlist/cobalt-users/msg02646.html )
which is not included in the distributed OS.

Does anybody has this utility or knows where to get it from,
or how to simulate/build it myself?

Any help appreciated - thanks,
Martin
