A method is just a sub in the class' package. So importing an overridden sub must conflict with a method of same name.

But I don't really understand your intention (or better mistrust the idea)

If you want to make sure that the original built-in is called use CORE::select, if you need a different select better name it select2 or new::select and change the source accordingly.

update

the only way I can think of is to delete all subs with name select and to use AUTOLOAD to try to distinguish if its called as a method or a built-in (the first argument is blessed)

update

AUTOLOAD is even not necessary, write your own select to check the caller and switch accordingly.

If it's called within the package/module delegate to your pseudo-built-in otherwise call the method.

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
