I have a module which overloads a few operators
snippet:
use overload
"+" => \&addoffset,
"-" => \&subtractoffset,
q("") => \&printit;
the functions are called OK when I code:
$obj + 7;
print $obj;
...although I get a Perl warning saying addition is useless which I would
expect. Is this like saying resistance is futile?
Anyway, if I simply change the "+" to "+=" ( and do $obj += 7 ) the print
function no longer works correctly; it returns the offset embedded in the
module rather than calling the overloaded function.
Even if I allow Perl to magically make the += happen for me it still does
the same (wrong) thing.
Am I going mad?
