in thread What is the best way to compare variables so that different types are non-equal?

I expected it to be reduced only to the scope of the file...

There's only one Rexexp package, not one per file.

Im still confused, there is no way to reduce the effect of overloading to just the file which imports a modul with an overloaded Regexp package?

(except maybe implementing a switch to default behavior within the overloading methods)

UPDATE: might be possible with eval 'no overload "cmp"; see Run time Overloading
