[EP-tech] Overriding subroutines

[alan.stiles at open.ac.uk (Alan.Stiles)]

Hi all,
I'm currently trying to override a subroutine from a plugin module, by redefining it in the local cfg.d file.
So

<EPRINTS_ROOT>/lib/plugins/EPrints/Plugin/Screen/MyPlugin/Stuff.pm
has
package EPrints::Plugin::Screen::MyPlugin::Stuff;
sub method_name { print 1;}

and in <EPRINTS_ROOT>/archives/<MY_ARCHIVE>/cfg/cfg.d/zzz_stuff_plugin_local.pl  I have

package EPrints::Plugin::Screen::MyPlugin::Stuff;
sub method_name { print 2;}


when I restart the server I get the print 1;  statement.   If I change the subroutine name in the plugin (under lib/plugins....) then restart the server I get the print 2; statement so it appears to be loading the plugin after the local version?  I thought these happened the other way round?

Thanks,
Alan
