Fellow monks,

is there a way to manipulate the order in which perl executes several END blocks? Let's assume that I'm using a module SomeModule that defines an END block and I'm also defining an END block in the main program: 

    package SomeModule;
    END { print "End of SomeModule\n"; }

    package main;
    END { print "End of main\n"; }

[download]
This will execute both end blocks in this order: 
    End of main
    End of SomeModule

[download]
Now, what if SomeModule's END block does something undesirable, what's the best way for me to jump in after that?

Changing SomeModule's code isn't an option, it needs to happen in main.
