The return can be overloaded, but as the return is already in SvNV, the SvNV overloading just gets called again (modulo my memory serving correctly). > Answers on a postcard as to how to add such logic without slowing the > world down (or getting into infinite loops) welcome. My best thought was pluggable opcodes, but then I realised that would be a lot of work and went back to hiding under a rock (see also: Perl6).
