Situation:
I have modules with such structure:
A.pm
package A; sub new { bless {}, shift; } sub doit { my $self = shift; warn 'A::doit'; } 1;
B.pm
package B; use base 'A'; sub doit { my $self = shift; warn 'B::doit'; $self->SUPER::doit(); } 1;
C.pm
package C; use base 'B'; 1;
D.pm
package D; sub new { bless {}, shift; } sub doit { my $self = shift; warn 'D::doit'; } 1;
And script:
use C; my $c = new C; $c->doit();
So, when I'll execute this script I'll get
B::doit
A::doit
Now I need to modify this script to get
B::doit
D::doit
But by the condition I can't modify sub's or @ISA of B.pm, I can only dinamically modify C.pm from my script.
Here is my attempt:
use C; use D; unshift @C::ISA, 'D'; *C::doit = \&B::doit; my $c = new C; $c->doit();
But it still prints
B::doit
A::doit
Because C::doit is only alias to B::doit and SUPER::doit() executes doit() from parent class of B.pm, not of C.pm.
So, is there a way to dynamically copy subroutine from one module to another or other way to solve my problem?
