Hello contra-sh, and welcome to the Monastery!

I’ll just address one part of your question:

Seems like the override only works when I call the function. That's weird because I modified the value before including the logging module.

No you didn’t! use logging; is the same as BEGIN { require Module; }, which means that the code in “logging.pm” is loaded and run before the rest of the script begins running (because anything in a BEGIN block is run at compile time). Change that line in “run-unit-tests.pl” to require logging; and the output is:

23:48 >perl 1030_SoPW.pl
Import...
VAR1 : [override1]
VAR2 : [override2]
Running function...
VAR1 : [override1]
VAR2 : [override2]

- Should I see any difference if I use require instead of use?

Yes! (as just explained).

Hope that helps,

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.
