Well, since $divesub = \&somesub; $raisesub = \&somesub;is equivalent to $divesub = \&somesub; $raisesub = $divesub;I must confess I am clueless about how to do this even with AUTOLOAD. I think you'll need XS.

Thing is, those are not two references to a sub. At best, you have two copies of the same reference to a sub (unless you use some kind of source filter, I guess). There is no telling those two copies apart, anymore than you can tell apart $x and $y in $x = CGI::->new; $y = $x;.

If you allow for setting different references, there is indeed more than one way to do it. Several have been given already. I have none ready-made, but I would look into using tied variables for this, as that just _might_ be the most transparant way of doing it -- though for better transparancy, I guess you'll have to overload the assignment operator as well. <understatement>This could get tricky.</understatement>
