Re^2: Constant subroutine main::C redefined

no warnings "redefine";

Doesn't work for constant subroutines. Yes. It is an unusual requirement to redefine a constant ;)

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

like I said, it doesn't work from outside. for constants the redefinition happens in constant.pm. you could `delete $main::{C}`	[reply] [d/l]

Also note that "redefining" a constant does not necessarily do what BrowserUk wants. The constants get inlined, so redefining them only works from that point on: `use constant C => 1; sub c { C }; use constant C => 2; sub d { C }; print c(); # 1 print d(); # 2` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

like I said, it doesn't work from outside. for constants the redefinition happens in constant.pm. I'm not using the constant pragma.

care to show some code and inform us which perl version you are using? sigh talking about constants without further explanation for me means using constant.pm. everything else is just a subroutine with an empty prototype. talking about a subroutine with an empty prototype? $ perl5.16.0 -wE' no warnings "redefine"; sub FOO () { 23 } sub FOO () { 42 }' $ [download]	[reply] [d/l]
