Your right - forgotten about that.

You still have the problem of overloading tho - what if a subclass overloads "+"?

Unfortunately, there isn't an overload::NumVal to match overload::StrVal (unless I'm missing something somewhere ;-)

You can get around this by blessing the object into another class you know isn't overloaded, get the numeric ID, and then bless the object back into it's original class. For example:

package Foo::Base; use strict; use warnings; sub self { my $self = shift; my $package = ref($self); bless $self, __PACKAGE__; my $id = $self+0; bless $self, $package; return($id); }; package Foo; use base qw(Foo::Base); use strict; use warnings; my %foo = (); sub new { my $class = shift; bless [], $class; }; sub foo { my $self = shift->self; $foo{$self} = @_ if @_; $foo{$self}; }; sub DESTROY { my $self = shift->self; delete $foo{$self}; };

Mildly evil - but seems to work.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
