if they are not overridable then it returns undef - but then please
note that the inverse implication does not hold.
yes, those with an undefined prototype are still overridable, but
you can't make the replacement function behave like the original one
in every way (due to parsing issues), for example exec/system's indirect object syntax.
BTW, I was once also in desperate need to override
the filetest operators... so I'm pretty sure it cannot be achieved with
the current implementation — but also see the patch mentioned in
footnote 2 in the post I linked to.

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).
