How could I overload the qq operator?

By using overload and overloading q for the constant string parts and the "."-operator for the string concatenations in between.

Cheers Rolf

UPDATE: If this whole thread is just about interpolating method-calls in strings/templates, you should consider the De/Ref-trick with @{[...]} :

perl -e ' {package test; sub test {return "test"}}; $a=[]; bless $a, test; print "@{[$a->test]}" '

please note: here $a->test is called in list context, for scalar context use ${\$a->test} !

UPDATE2: After rereading overload I have the impression that overloading "" might be the approach to overload qq ... but this might also affect all other possible stringifications...(!?!)
