It's funny you should ask, because I just finished reading that section
today! :-) On pg 306-7 of the Camel (3rd edition):
*CORE::GLOBAL::glob = sub {
my $pat = shift;
my @got;
# do whatever
return @got;
}
will override a built-in function everywhere, regardless of namespaces. The
method you use (namely overriding CORE::function) restricts the overriding
of the function "to the package that requests the import."
