Run-time load a class the first time you call a method in it

*Class::Autouse* is a runtime class loader that allows you to specify classes that will only load when a method of that class is called. For large classes or class trees that might not be used during the running of a program, such as Date::Manip, this can save you large amounts of memory, and decrease the script load time a great deal. *Class::Autouse* also provides a number of "unsafe" features for runtime generation of classes and implementation of syntactic sugar. These features make use of (evil) UNIVERSAL::AUTOLOAD hooking, and are implemented in this class because these hooks can only be done by a one module, and Class::Autouse serves as a useful place to centralise this kind of evil :)
