Subject: Impossible to convert blessed objects by stringifying
I would like certain objects to convert to JSON as their stringified values. For example: *DateTime::TO_JSON = sub { return overload::StrVal($_[0]); }; But it seems impossible thanks to this check (from JSON::PP): if ( overload::StrVal( $obj ) eq $result ) { encode_error( sprintf( "%s::TO_JSON method returned same object as was passed instead of a new one", ref $obj ) ); } The check seems rather arbitrary--why should you not be able to convert objects to JSON via their stringification? Thanks.
