The (&@) prototyping mechanism is intended allow user-defined functions to enjoy an approximation of some of the behavior of built-in functions like grep and map, but does not allow exact duplication of all such behavior. I've never tried it myself, but I imagine that if you wanted to do this trick, you'd have to look at the source of the built-in you wanted to emulate and figure out how it achieves its Deep Magick, and then roll your own with, e.g., an Inline::C definition that duplicates the incantations.
Perhaps some much more subtle monk than I can comment further.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
