in reply to override CORE sub and keep method in same package
But I don't really understand your intention (or better mistrust the idea)
If you want to make sure that the original built-in is called use CORE::select, if you need a different select better name it select2 or new::select and change the source accordingly.
the only way I can think of is to delete all subs with name select and to use AUTOLOAD to try to distinguish if its called as a method or a built-in (the first argument is blessed)
AUTOLOAD is even not necessary, write your own select to check the caller and switch accordingly.
If it's called within the package/module delegate to your pseudo-built-in otherwise call the method.
