[ic] Question about Autoload

[Doug Alcorn]

What's defined when the Autoload stuff is done?  I want to do some
Autoloading on the userdb.  Has the record been read in from the
database when the autoload is executed?  How can I easily access the
various fields?  Do I have to use the [data userdb ...] tag?  Wouldn't
that cause some sort of recursion?  I want to do something like this.

Userdb ....

Autload <<EOR
[if data userdb pricefield]
  [perl] $Config->{PriceField} = $Values->{pricefield} [/perl]
[/if]
EOR

I got the perl snippet from
http://lists.akopia.com/pipermail/interchange-users/2001-February/004944.html.
But what I don't know is how the $Values reference gets updated?  Does
it hold the values of the currently read-in record with keys to all
the fields?
