Hey brethren,
<p>
Long time, no speak ... I've been away on Python (;-(() & Ruby (:-))) sabbaticals.
<p>
Anyways, my question is, I think, a simple one - why does running the command
<p>
<c>perl -e 'print \&stat, \&CORE::stat; package CORE; print \&stat'</c>
<p>
return
<p>
<c>CODE(0x563599d2b1e0)CODE(0x563599d547d0)CODE(0x563599d547d0)</c>
<p>
i.e. given that stat() is ostensibly a part of the CORE package (as partially shown above), what are the/any sound reason(s) for the differences between them (<c>\&stat</c> & <c>\&CORE::stat</c>) (using perl 5.26.1 on Ubuntu 18.04) ??
<p>
Many thanx in advance for your insights.
<p>
Very many thanx for your replies - so the upshot is RTFM (but more closely).
