I'd be willing to bet this is an XY Problem... could you explain why you need this, preferably with an SSCCE?

If you want the code that $func points to to call a different run, you can do the following (locally redefine &Spin::Command::spin::run), although this is kinda hacky too <update> because it just changes the call to run, it doesn't affect anything else in $func, like package variables or other function calls. </update> The "real" solution would be to modify $func at its origin.

use warnings; use strict; { package Spin::Command::spin; sub run { print "Bar<<".shift.">>\n"; } sub func { run("Foo:".shift); } } my $func = \&Spin::Command::spin::func; use B::Deparse; my $deparse = B::Deparse->new; print "<<",$deparse->coderef2text($func),">>\n"; sub other_run { print "Quz[[".shift."]]\n"; } my $func_other_run = sub { no warnings 'redefine'; local *Spin::Command::spin::run = \&main::other_run; $func->(@_); }; $func->("Hello"); # prints "Bar<<Foo:Hello>>" $func_other_run->("World"); # prints "Quz[[Foo:World]]"

Update 2: Of course you can also just clobber the original func:

{ no warnings 'redefine'; *Spin::Command::spin::func = $func_other_run; }
