-----Original Message----- From: Christopher G Tantalo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2003 3:43 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: warning message Hello, In a recent perl script I wrote, I have a procedure, read_config(), which reads a config file I have set up and sets a hash to what is in the file. Now, before you mention it, I have stricts on and use the -w on the 1st line, and the following message appears. main::read_config() called too early to check prototype at ./eleadtest.pl line 19. What does this mean? Code snippets of the procedure call, and the procedure itself are below. #!/home/ctantalo/perl5/bin/perl -w # # Programmer: Chris Tantalo # # This program will call eleadsht.sqt and email the eleadsht.lis file # based on the data in the dmg.eleadsht_parameters table # # $Version_id = "@(#) elead.pl [@@/main/dec02_corp_sup/1] >"; use strict; use Mail::Sender; use DBI; # check to see if test machine(cad2) or production(sam) my $node = `hostname`; chomp $node; our %hash; read_config($node); <snip> # the read_config procedure sub read_config() { my $node = shift @_; my $cfg_file = ""; my $key; my $value; $cfg_file = "/opt/appl/hrstmk/bin/elead.cfg" if($node eq "sam"); $cfg_file = "/usr/appl/cad/prod/hrstmk/bin/elead.cfg" if($node eq "cad2"); open(CFG_FILE,"$cfg_file") ||die "cannot open $cfg_file for reading:$!"; while(<CFG_FILE>) { next if($_ =~ /^#/); ($key,$value) = split(/=/,$_); $hash{$key}=$value; } close(CFG_FILE); } TIA, Chris -- ------------------------------- Just Your Friendly Neighborhood _SPIDEY_ -- Anything added after this was added by my mail server and not me. -- ----------------------------------------- The information contained in this message may be privileged, confidential, and protected from disclosure.
