Re: temporarily change a function, sort of like doing a local $var;

[JupiterHost.Net]

What the statement does
    local *What::ever = \&my_sub; # with a named sub
or
    local *What::ever = sub { }; # with a closure

is to locally redefine the *What::ever{CODE} slot of the glob.


Adriano, *you* are awesome! I've been fiddling with this sort of thing 
dancing around the right way and BAM you come though!

Thanks a bunch!
