Re: Dynamically Changing Your Namespace

The package code is compiled into is what "scalar caller(0)" would return if it were called. It is determined at compile time, there is nothing you can do at run time to change it.

No, code isn't immutable. It's just difficult to change. All you'd have to do is find the pointers off all the COP nodes in the optree and change them to point somewhere else. ⠤⠤ ⠙⠊⠕⠞⠁⠇⠑⠧⠊	[reply]

Ah, so that's what the `COP` nodes are. While true, what you are saying rather stresses my meaning than contradict it. Changing pointers in the op tree isn't something you do in routine Perl programming. Anno	[reply] [d/l]
