Re^5: Assigning to the CODE slot of a GLOB whose REF is held in a lexical?

Scalar variables don't live on the symbol table. This works as advertised:

use strict;
use warnings;

our $bar = 1; # note the package variable

my $barref = \*bar;
*$barref = sub { "bar" };

print &{ *$barref }(), $/;
print ${ *$barref },   $/;

print *$barref{CODE}->(),  $/;
print ${*$barref{SCALAR}}, $/;

Update: no trouble at all. Hopefully it's a "learning experience." :-)

I'll take that as a hint that I should be in bed. Sorry for the trouble!	[reply]
