For an Acme module I'm trying to make an alternative to print, but can;t get goto to work with print:I'd like this: perl -mstrict -wle 'sub x {goto &print} x("hi");' to work like this: perl -mstrict -MCarp -wle 'sub x {goto &Carp::croak } x("hi");' I'm sure I'm missing a simple namespace issue but main:: and UNIVERSAL:: aren't it and I can't seem to find it documented. Any ideas what I'm missing?Read the section "Overriding Built-in Functions" in perlsub. perldoc perlsub
Good info John, I don;t want to change print() calls though I want to make foo() act just like print, the trick is getting print()s to Filehandles
fake_print "wee"; is easy *but* fake_print STDERR "wee"; :) Its been an interesting mental exercise. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
