Re^3: How to redefine a modules private function?

Update: sorry, this is rubbish - see Re^5: How to redefine a modules private function?

Can't get AnyEvent installed ATM, but your little demo does work, if you don't "re"define it, but define it before you load the module:

Foo.pm as in your example

test2.pl

use warnings;
use strict;
use lib '.';

BEGIN {
    sub Foo::ONE () { 444 }
    sub Foo::TWO { 555 }
    sub Foo::THREE () { 666 }
}

use Foo; # _after_ your "re"definitions

Foo::go;
print "One=", Foo::ONE, ", Two=", Foo::TWO, ", Three=", Foo::THREE, "\
+n";

What output do you get? Because I get `Constant subroutine ONE redefined at Foo.pm line 5. Subroutine TWO redefined at Foo.pm line 6. Constant subroutine THREE redefined at Foo.pm line 8. One=111, Two=222, Three=333 One=111, Two=222, Three=333` [download] which is what I would expect, since loading `Foo.pm` redefines the subs to the values that it has (111, 222, 333), not the values that we want (444, 555, 666).

Yes, of course. Must be my beginning dementia. Either that or I got totally out of practice. I was a bit astonished that no one already came up with this, that I totally overlooked, which value is coming from the module and which from the script :-(	[reply]
