| Redefine is the term in perl-lingua.
 
Thanks for the clarification ... 
 
| In MyApp.pm:
| 
| {
|   no warnings 'redefine';
| 
|   sub merge_session_to_user {
|     # your new sub
| 
|     # ...
| 
|     # To call the previous implementation if you should want it:
|     # $self->NEXT::merge_session_to_user(@args);
|   }
| }
| 
| The key thing to remember here is that all Cat plugins 'pollute' the $c
| namespace, which isa Myapp.

and thanks for the code example. 

I have already redefine the sub and it's working!

Thanks again,
