Yep, you have to have a blessed package (an object) in order for overload to work - but who says you can't bless main? ;)
use strict; use overload '+' => sub { ${$_[0]} - ${$_[1]} }; use overload '-' => sub { ${$_[0]} + ${$_[1]} }; my ($x,$y) = (90,60); my $i = bless \$x, 'main'; my $j = bless \$y, 'main'; # objects use overloaded operators print $i + $j, $/; # 30 print $i - $j, $/; # 150 # normal scalars use Perl operators print $x + $y, $/; # 150 print $x - $y, $/; # 30
