Re: Patching a Package (Scalar::Util)

That's about the best you're gonna get. I'd add it to the @EXPORT, @EXPORT_OK, and %EXPORT_TAGS, too. And, comment the f@#$ out of it.

Scalar::Util only exports refaddr by request, but your suggestion is good. I have added the following (within the if test):

   # Allow users of Scalar::Util to import the new symbol on request.
   push @Scalar::Util::EXPORT_OK,'refaddr';
