However I'd very much like to have a mechanism to shut this warning up. The reason: if you are using Apache::Reload while developing mod_perl modules, inability of shutting down this warnings forces you to avoid the usage of constants, because you want to keep your error log free of useless (for development purpose) clutter. I want to be able to shut those down, and I'm aware of the consequences. It sounds like a not perl-ish way, if you can't make perl quiet. __________________________________________________________________ Stas Bekman JAm_pH ------> Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide ---> http://perl.apache.org mailto:stas@stason.org http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.comThread Previous | Thread Next
