in reply to Weird interaction of tie and overload

If I add

use overload '0+' => \#
sub num { print "[$_[0]->[0]]"; return $_[0]->[0]; }

I get:

[1][1]1 == 1
1 != 3
1 != 4
[1][3]3 != 1
3 == 3
3 != 4
[1][4]4 != 1
4 != 3
4 == 4

In other words, it fails on each first pass of the inner loop. (In might also be failing on the first pass of the outer loop, but we can't tell.) I don't know what that means, though.

    Dear ikegami! If you don't know the answer, how should I? Where should I go from here? Should I post this to p5p? Might this be a bug?

      Ha! Yeah, this has to be a bug. I don't know if it's related to overload's known bug or not. I have no idea what you should do. I don't know anything about p5p other than they exist.
