I have combed the various docs and haven't yet found the silver bullet to turn off all the warnings I am getting from mod_perl in my error_log that look something like this:
Constant subroutine Apache::ROOTusa_2eusahire_2ecom::cgi_2dbin::portal::gojobs::gojobs_2ecgi::RC_CONTINUE redefined at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/Apache/PerlRun.pm line 361.
I have tried:
PerlWarn Off in the httpd.conf file
no warnings ; in the startup.pl no strict ; in the startup.pl
It should work to do this: no warnings qw(redefine);
These are lexically scoped, so if your script has a use warnings or -w in it, they will get turned back on.
This is not the case with constant subs. Perl 5.8.0+ provides no facilities to shut it off, on purpose. The only way to avoid these warnings is to install this trap:
$SIG{__WARN__} = \&skip_redefine_const_sub_warn;
sub skip_redefine_const_sub_warn {
return if $_[0] =~ /^Constant subroutine [\w:]+ redefined at/;
CORE::warn(@_);
}I'm now fixing Apache::Reload to have a special config option to enable this feature. This can't be turned off by default, because it may result in unexpected behavior if the constant sub was modified for real. So a special option for those who know what are they doing will be provided.
Note that this only happens when you cause PerlRun to reload a script that defines constants. Restarting the server as described in the docs avoids the issue: http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/troubleshooting.html#Constant_subroutine_XXX_redefined
I'll update this section with the above info.
