Re: Overloaded *CORE:: function not behaving correctly

in reply to Overloaded *CORE:: function not behaving correctly

You have to override *CORE::GLOBAL:: functions at compile-time so when the parser sees them they're pointing to the right bit of code e.g

BEGIN {
  *CORE::GLOBAL::glob = sub { "glob overriden" };
}
print glob('a pattern'), "\n";

*CORE::GLOBAL::join = sub { print "n/a" };

print join(' ', qw/ join not overridden /), "\n";

__output__

glob overriden
join not overridden
