Wise monks, and the rest ;)

I have a logging routine from a supplier that has the prototype ($$). The first parameter is the log level, the second the message to log. I am overriding this sub already to add a debug feature and all is good. Now I would like to change the prototype to ($@) and then convert the @ with a join before calling the original logger.

# Patch nimlog to echo to STDOUT in debug
{
    no warnings qw(redefine);

    sub nimLog ($@) {
        my $msg = join ', ', @_;
        Nimbus::API::nimLog( $_[0], $msg );
        say $msg if $main::debug and $main::setup->{loglevel} >= $_[1]
+;
    }
}

of course now I get the error Prototype mismatch. Is there a way to do this or should I just behave and use a new name for my new logger?

Thanks,
R.
