Error Reporting on AUTOLOAD Failure

Question

I use AUTOLOADundefined to handle calls for some routines.

sub AUTOLOAD {
    my $member = $AUTOLOAD;
    # ... do something if knowing how to handle '$member'        

    # otherwise ?
}

When calling a nonexistent subroutine (say my_method) on a package, Perl usually says something like

Can't locate object method "my_method" via package "MyPackage" 
at Package.pm line 99.

I want Perl to display this standard message if I don't know how to handle the subroutine call $memberin my implementation AUTOLOAD.

How can i do this?

I did not find a special variable that could contain the corresponding message. In addition, the Perl startup documentation does not give any hint of this problem.

Note: I would like to avoid overwriting the error message, but instead use the standard message provided by Perl.
