overriding a methods.

Would it be possible to override a method this way?

sub GD::Graph::axestype::create_x_label {
[download]

or \&GD::Graph::axestype::create_x_label = sub { I know these doesnt work because I've tried, is there another way like this?

The first one works fine, provided you understand that you're compiling code which has to be compiled after the original method is compiled. So, it's fine after a `use` that pulls in the other module. You'll probably get a "redefining ___" warning though. The typeglob assignment has also worked for me in the past.	[reply]

You could typeglob... `*GD::Graph::axestype::create_x_label = sub {...}` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
