Re: Re: Problem w/overloading and Carp::confess

Thanks...Interesting results:

Operation `.=': no method found,
        left argument in overloaded package P,
        right argument has no overloaded magic at /usr/local/geospiza/
+lib/perl5/5.6.1/Carp/Heavy.pm line 91.
[download]

Looks as if in longmess() the string concat being done to turn the "arg" into something printable is lost... I was thinking that putting a check in longmess to see if stringify is overloaded and then calling overload::StrVal(), but I don't want to change Carp.

Apparently the recursion is being caused by `if (ref $_) { # ...<snip>... $_ .= '';` [download] in Carp.pm (or Carp/Heavy.pm). I recommend that you copy Carp.pm to MyCarp.pm, and hack away at it. And maybe submit a patch when you're done. -- Frag. -- "Just remember what ol' Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big old storm right in the eye and says, "Give me your best shot. I can take it."	[reply] [d/l]

Before submitting patches, I suggest downloading the development version of Perl because it may be (read has been) changed.	[reply]
