This is a bug report for perl from sphink@gmail.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.35 running under perl v5.8.8.

[Please enter your report here]

I have a tie'd variable %h that returns values from its FETCH()
routine that are blessed into a package that uses overloads.
When I use the += operator on the return value from that FETCH,
the overloading is ignored.

If I use the + operator, it works fine.

Example (uncomment the two commented-out lines to prove that
the overloading is ignored):

package Over;

use overload '+' => \&add;
#use overload '+=' => \&add2;
use overload '""' => \&toString;

sub add {
  my ($a, $b, $swapped) = @_;
  return bless [ $a->[0] + $b->[0], $a->[1] + $b->[1] ], 'Over';
}

#sub add2 { die "add2 called" }

sub toString {
  my ($self) = @_;
  return "<$self->[0],$self->[1]>";
}

package Tied;

sub TIEHASH {
  my ($selfpkg, $data) = @_;
  return bless \$data, $selfpkg;
}

sub FETCH {
  my ($self, $key) = @_;
  return bless [ $key, $key ], 'Over';
}

sub STORE {
  my ($self, $key, $value) = @_;
  print "STORE($key,$value) called\n";
}

package main;

my $v = bless [ 1, 2 ], 'Over';

my %h;
tie %h, 'Tied';

print "v = $v\n";
print "h{1} = $h{1}\n";
print "h{1} + [10,10] = ", ($h{1} + [10,10]), "\n";
print "h{1} += [10,10] = ", ($h{1} += [10,10]), "\n";
# The overloading was ignored on the previous line. It correctly
# fetched key '1' and converted it into a blessed ref, but then
# when it applied the += operator to the result, it didn't respect
# the overloading.
