I've pushed the following change to perlqt master, that I believe resolves this
issue.  Scott, can you verify?

commit 1b665848e178301344386717c658386d160d222a

    Use a copy of the Qt::AutoLoad::AUTOLOAD variable.

    This appears to be a change in Perl's behavior.  The way the operator
    overloading in PerlQt works is that it first tries to find an operator
method
    on the class itself, and then next it tries to find one in the so-called
    QGlobalSpace, which is a place defined by the smoke library for global Qt
    functions.  Perl passes the underlying XS code the full package and
function
    being called, which PerlQt splits into 2 strings, one for the package name,
and
    one for the method name.  PerlQt null-terminates the package name string,
and
    in previous versions of Perl, this modification did not affect the source
    $AUTOLOAD variable.  In Perl 5.20.0, it does update the Perl variable, and
then
    causes confusion down the line.
