I'm trying to use stringify overload on a tied XS variable (Perl 5.6.0) and I can't figure out how to turn on 'fallback'.
I was able to find SvAMAGIC_on() to turn on overload, and I provide a stringify method ('""') that works when you do "$ref", but I need
$ref eq "some string"
to work also, and that means setting fallback => 1, which I can't figure out how to do to my XS-tied variable. My tie'ing sequence looks roughly like this:
HV *hash = newHV();
SV *hashref = newRV_noinc((SV*)hash);
SV *tie = newSViv((IV)value);
SV *tieref = newRV_noinc(tie);
sv_bless(tieref, hash_tie_stash);
sv_bless(hashref, xml_attribute_stash);
SvAMAGIC_on(hashref);
hv_magic(hash, (GV *)tieref, 'P');
SvREFCNT_dec(tieref);
return hashref;
Devel::Peek isn't giving me a clue (afaics) as to what magic is different between my XS-tied var and a pure-Perl tied var with overload magic.
Any clues appreciated!

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>

-
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).
