The way prototypes are applied to subroutines is not consistent. I’m not sure how these cases should work​:

sub foo {} # has a body already
sub foo ($);
print prototype \&foo;

That gives me a ‘Prototype mismatch’ warning and does not apply the prototype.

sub MODIFY_CODE_ATTRIBUTES{}
sub foo {} # has a body already
sub foo ($) :Frigid;
print prototype \&foo;

That gives me a ‘Prototype mismatch’ warning, but *does* apply the prototype. (In 5.10 it does not apply it.)

So now I’ve discovered a new feature!

Also, this case does apply the prototype, but that’s to be expected, as the sub is not defined​:

sub foo($);
sub foo(;$); # warning, but the prototype is applied anyway
print prototype \&foo;

But in this case, the prototype is not applied​:

sub bar($);
BEGIN { *foo = \&bar }
sub foo(;$); # warns
print prototype \&foo;

And here the prototype is silently ignored​:

BEGIN { *foo = \&bar }
sub foo($);
print prototype \&foo;
