In the example below, there's a syntax error in the selfloaded
code for main::buggy.  When the eval fails, SelfLoader::AUTOLOAD
tries to report this with "croak $@;".  Unfortunately,
SelfLoader::croak does "require Carp;" without protecting $@,
which gets clobbered.  The program then dies with the
uninformative message " at ./example line 3".

#! /usr/local/bin/perl
use SelfLoader;
buggy();
__END__
sub buggy
{
    +>*;
}
