I completely understand why the warning is emitted; I'm looking for answers as to how perl knows about the overwrite, considering the fact I've overwritten the symtab entry for it.
ps. This "dumb" website does links just fine.

The post does not go through when I try to make that a link either using [] or html tags. I'm not sure I understand your question; Perl knows about it because you did it, and it checks for a mismatch in prototypes when that happens.

Fair enough. We do have a subset and mix of things here. [link_to_something|words to describe] is kind of backwards, but I digress.
Getting to the point, I understand that perl knows about it, there's no question there. My question is *how* perl knows about the prototype(s), after I have effectively pissed all over the symtab entry for the sub.
My question, more directly: Why and how does perl know that the sub I'm faking out (effectively), still keep reference to the prototypes that were involved in the subroutine I faked?
