Re: How to wrap Perl assignment operator?

in reply to How to wrap Perl assignment operator?

See overload for overloading perl operations for objects. Not sure if that fits your specific request though... But not sure if your approach is the best way -- are you sure you want transparently do stuff with something as basic as the '=' operator (could be extremely confusing)? Can you give a more detailed example of your intended use?

The overload pragma won't overload the assignment operator. From the man page: However, [the module] does not overload the Perl assignment operator. This would go against Camel hair. Read the doc for more details. Do not rebuke them with harsh words ... but rather lead them gently - with URLs - so that they may learn wisdom.	[reply]
