overriding builtins quirk

I just stumbled across an (eh-hemm) interesting feature of package
scoped overriding
of builtins that doesn't seem to be documented. Maybe it doesn't need to
be, but it
took me awhile to track it down. Symbols exported into a package's
namespace within
a string eval make it out into the calling package except those that are
overriding
builtins.

if package Foo exports bar and stat

{
  eval "use Foo";
  bar(); #ok
  stat();#not ok, this is CORE::stat
}

only bar is exported


{
  eval q(use Foo;
  stat;  #ok);
  bar(); #ok
  stat();#not ok, this is CORE::stat
}

Green potatoes and green potato chips are to be distinguished from brown
potato chips, which are another matter entirely.
