Re: Re: dynamic sub routine definitions?

BZZZZZZZT! Please try again.

You can't use stuff like this to replace an existing function definition, only to add a new one.

You can too! You just have to be even neato-er.

FILE1
-----
*{"::SomeFunc"} = sub { print "I'm neater than that!\n" }

FILE2.pl
--------
sub SomeFunc { print "I'm really neat\n"; }
my $neato = 'FILE1';
do $neato;
&SomeFunc;

Don't go borrowing trouble. For programmers, this means Worry only about what you need to implement.

Please read what I wrote more carefully. The paragraph goes on to say: What you want can be done, but requires more work: you need a level of indirection. You just demonstrated my point: it can be done, but you had to go through the package hash (a level of indirection) to do it.	[reply]
