in reply to Constant subroutine main::C redefined

put
no warnings "redefine";
before the redefinition.
this does not work from "outside", e.g. for
no warnings "redefine"; # won't help here require Foo; delete $INC{"Foo.pm"}; require Foo;

    no warnings "redefine";

    Doesn't work for constant subroutines. Yes. It is an unusual requirement to redefine a constant ;)

      like I said, it doesn't work from outside. for constants the redefinition happens in constant.pm.
      you could delete $main::{C}

        Also note that "redefining" a constant does not necessarily do what BrowserUk wants. The constants get inlined, so redefining them only works from that point on:

        use constant C => 1; sub c { C }; use constant C => 2; sub d { C }; print c(); # 1 print d(); # 2
        like I said, it doesn't work from outside. for constants the redefinition happens in constant.pm.

        I'm not using the constant pragma.
