Re: Override built-in functions?

> Is it because the procedure I'm writing is always called by the object handle? Does that make it NOT the same as the built-in function?

Exactly, because the method and the builtin are in different namespaces aka packages.

The method call -> will look into the "STASH" of MyPackage:: while calls to builtins are resolved in CORE:: (resp. CORE::GLOBAL ) °

You can actually override (some) builtin functions, but that's not what is happening here.

See also CORE for some details on overriding. `map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]\|\|0,1}[\\|\|{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^ARGV,3]`	[reply] [d/l]
