hi,
i wrote a
package Foo::Expression::Arithmetic, a
package Foo::Number and a
package Foo::Variable.
I used
overload to be able to do the following:
my $x1 = Foo::Number->new()->value( 10 );
my $x2 = Foo::Number->new()->value( 20 );
my $x3 = Foo::Number->new()->value( 30 );
my $x4 = Foo::Number->new()->value( 40 );
my $v1 = Foo::Variable->new()->name( 'a' )->value( 50 );
my $c1 = $v1 - $x1 + $x2 + $x3 - $x4;
my $c2 = $c1 * $v1;
$c1 and $c2 are now objects of type
Foo::Expression::Arithmetic.
Foo::Expression::Arithmetic has a output function, so outputing $c1 and $c2 gives me the following:
a - 10 + 20 + 30 - 40 # $c1
a - 10 + 20 + 30 - 40 * a # $c2
Now i want to be able to do the following:
my $c3 = ( $x1 + $x2 ) * $v1;
not achieve the following output:
( 10 + 20 ) * a # $c3
use overload
'(' => \&left_parenthesis,
')' => \&right_parenthesis,
is not working. :-(
Any ideas?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
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).
