Hmm, then this should also work, but it doesn't

#!/usr/bin/perl --
BEGIN {
    use IO::File;
    package IO::Handle;
    use overload '-X' => sub {
        warn 'abracadabra';
        stat@_;
    };
    *IO::Handle::stat = sub { warn "hi walter"; stat(@_); };
    
}

open my($fh), '<', __FILE__;
print '-e ', -e $fh, "\n";
print '-f ', -f $fh, "\n";
print '-d ', -d $fh, "\n";
print 'stat ', stat $fh, "\n";
print $fh, "\n";
close $fh;
print "$_\n" for keys %INC;
__END__
-e 1
-f 1

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
