overload during match

[Hao Wu]

I use a variable which have a method overload to string in regex replace.

the result is string only if match success. I thought it should be always
string.

Could anyone explain how this happen? Thanks.

Below is the code

use Text::Xslate::Type::Raw; # a wraper of string, provide as_string, which
is overloaded to string, return the string.

use DDP;


sub strip_x { return $_[0]=~s/x//gr }


my $raw_a = Text::Xslate::Type::Raw->new("a");

p $raw_a;

my $striped_a = strip_x($raw_a);

p $striped_a;


my $raw_b = Text::Xslate::Type::Raw->new("x");

p $raw_b;

$striped_b = strip_x($raw_b);

p $striped_b;


__END__


Text::Xslate::Type::Raw  {

  public methods (3) : (), as_string, new

private methods (0)

  internals: "a"

}

Text::Xslate::Type::Raw  {

public methods (3) : (), as_string, new

  private methods (0)

internals: "a"

}

Text::Xslate::Type::Raw  {

public methods (3) : (), as_string, new

  private methods (0)

internals: "x"

}

That's not the complete code, so it's hard to reproduce. Please post a
self-contained , reproducing example. For example, I don't know what DateCalc
is and neither does https://metacpan.org/search?q=datecalc . You can also try
using an interactive debugger:

DateCalc Problem

[Omega -1911]

Hi - Can anyone help me understand why the following does not produce the
correct future date?

my $exp_date = DateCalc('today', "+$membership_period days");

It works if I use:

my $exp_date = DateCalc('today', "+7 days");

Any help is appreciated !! Eyes have been looking at the screen for a while
;)
