Greetings. I am trying to figure out how to override 'use'.
BEGIN{
use subs qw(use);
sub use{ print "Using fake use\n"; }
}
use Data::Dumper;
However, this didn't seem to work. I tried enclosing the enclosing the 'subs' pragma and the fake 'use' definition in a BEGIN block because the 'use' occurs at compile time. Alas, this didn't seem to work.
Thus I have come to you seeking enlightenment. I am going about this wrong? Is it even possible to override the 'use' special form? Is their documentation anywhere specifying what CORE subroutines are and are not overridable?

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).
