perldb improperly handles blessed coderefs #23486

Module: perldb

Description
When calling a blessed coderef as a sub, perldb requires both q{eq} and q{""} overloads, but passes a non-object to those methods.

Steps to Reproduce
Here's a simple class which triggers on a missing q{eq} overload:

use v5.10; package Bar { use Scalar::Util 'blessed'; use overload fallback => 0, bool => sub { 1 }, ; sub new { my $class = shift; return bless sub { 'foo' }, $class; } } say Bar->new->(); 

running under the debugger produces:

Operation "eq": no method found,	left argument in overloaded package Bar,	right argument has no overloaded magic at /home/dj/.plenv/versions/5.40/lib/perl5/5.40.0/perl5db.pl line 4475. at /home/dj/.plenv/versions/5.40/lib/perl5/5.40.0/perl5db.pl line 4475. 

Introducing an overload for q{eq}:

use v5.10; package Bar { use Scalar::Util 'blessed'; use overload fallback => 0, bool => sub { 1 }, eq => sub { say 'Class: ', blessed( $_[0] ) // '<no class>'; say 'Ref: ', ref $_[0]; !!0; }, ; sub new { my $class = shift; return bless sub { 'foo' }, $class; } } say Bar->new->(); 

results in

Class: <no class> Ref: CODE Operation """": no method found, argument in overloaded package Bar at /home/dj/.plenv/versions/5.40/lib/perl5/5.40.0/perl5db.pl line 4481. at /home/dj/.plenv/versions/5.40/lib/perl5/5.40.0/perl5db.pl line 4481. 

Strangely, the first argument passed to the overload sub is no longer an object, just a plain CODE ref.

Adding the q{""} operator gets through the debugger,

use v5.10; package Bar { use Scalar::Util 'blessed'; use overload fallback => 0, bool => sub { 1 }, eq => sub { say 'Class: ', blessed( $_[0] ) // '<no class>'; say 'Ref: ', ref $_[0]; !!0; }, q{""} => sub { say 'Class: ', blessed( $_[0] ) // '<no class>'; say 'Ref: ', ref $_[0]; 'Bar'; }, ; sub new { my $class = shift; return bless sub { 'foo' }, $class; } } say Bar->new->(); 
Class: <no class> Ref: CODE Class: <no class> Ref: CODE foo Debugged program terminated. Use q to quit or R to restart, 

With the same non-object passed to the q{""} overload sub.

Expected behavior

I think the debugger gets confused about coderefs which are blessed and makes assumptions about them which don't hold.

I expect that the debugger should handle blessed coderefs the same as ordinary coderefs and not require extra overloads from them (and if it does, that it passes the blessed object to them)
