Re^2: How to make an IO::Uncompress::Bunzip2 look like a GLOB

I believe your reply contains suggestions for modifying the "if" inside the Perl Module. My question was actually how to modify the object I am passing the module such that it would pass the existing "if" inside the module, so that I do not have to modify the third party module.

The 3rd party module has a giant bug, it needs to be fixed. But `{ local @GLOB::ISA = ref $obj; bless $obj, 'GLOB'; broken_module($obj); bless $obj, @GLOB::ISA; }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Thank you. That does indeed get me past the initial "if". Unfortunately the restore part of your code does not appear to work. With that code I get: `Can't locate object method "READ" via package "1"` If I change your last line to `bless $obj, 'IO::Uncompress::Bunzip2';` then it works correctly. Thank you for your help.
