Redefine the caller's functions imported from elsewhere in a import() sub:
package redefine; use warnings; use strict; my @redefines = qw( module::function foo::bar ); sub import { my $class = shift; my $caller = caller; no strict 'refs'; no warnings qw/redefine/; for my $sym (@redefines) { "unqualify" subs (my $sub = $sym) =~ s/.*:://; if ( ${$caller.'::'}{$sub} && *{$caller.'::'.$sub}{CODE} eq *$sym{CODE} ) { *{$caller.'::'.$sub} = \&$sub; } *{$sym} = \&$sub; } } sub function { package module; print "new\n"; }; sub bar { package foo; print "in bar\n"; } 1;

No need to 'use module' in your redefining package (if you 'use redefine' after 'use module', that is). Adding a package declaration to the new functions gives them access to that packages' symbol table (for 'our' vars, other functions etc.)

update: made code more "general-purpose"

update 2: added package declarations to subs

--shmem

_($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.  G°\        /
                              /\_¯/(q    /
