This is a bug report for perl from [EMAIL PROTECTED],
generated with the help of perlbug 1.35 running under perl v5.8.6.
A subroutine forward declaration without a prototype
does not cause a prototype mismatch warning when the
sub is later declared with a prototype.
$ perl586 -Mwarnings -e 'sub x; sub x () {}'
$
In Perl 5.6.1 a warning is produced in this situation.
$ perl561 -Mwarnings -e 'sub x; sub x () {}'
Prototype mismatch: sub main::x vs () at -e line 1.
$
However when the forward declaration contains a prototype
the warning is generated.
$ perl586 -Mwarnings -e 'sub x ($); sub x () {}'
Prototype mismatch: sub main::x ($) vs () at -e line 1.
