Hi there
I've been re-working some code from another developer and I came across a
line that has me stumped. I can't find an explanation in Programming Perl,
but it's probably because I don't know what to look for.
The line is:
*random_subroutine_name = sub ( ) { 1 };
Is there a name for this kind of operation?
What I think is that this is dynamically re-defining an existing subroutine
to just return true value. Is that a totally stupid guess?
Any help would be wonderful!
Thanks
Mike Kavanagh
