Re^2: What is the best way to compare variables so that different types are non-equal?

Regex pattern objects are magical. Overloading doesn't even come into play.

so what about this???

package Regexp;
use overload
     q{""} => sub {return "overloaded" } ;
  
package main;
my $rx = qr/a/;
print $rx;
[download]

output: overloaded
