How to use warnings in Apache::ASP?
Is there a way to make it so that all Apache::ASP scripts on my site have "use warnings;" on by default (something analogous to PerlSetVar Strict 1 and use strict;)? Or do I just have to put "use warnings;" in every file? I searched the nodeworks.com/asp site (keyword warning/warnings) as well as the modperl mailing list archive (keyword "warning ASP" and "warnings ASP") but could not find anything. -Philip Mak ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

Never heard of it, same as -w? Does putting it into your global.asa do the trick? Its the same namespace as all of your scripts unless you use UniquePackages setting. I'm thinking about a Script_OnCompile or Script_OnParse event, maybe you could add it to all of your perl at that time? -- Joshua _ Joshua Chamas Chamas Enterprises Inc.

Philip Mak wrote: I just tried doing the global.asa thing, but I realized another problem. Recently, I installed a new version of perl on my system (upgraded 5.00503 to 5.6). Something went wrong though; Apache::ASP is still using the old version of perl. If I run /usr/bin/perl, /usr/local/bin/perl, or a CGI script, the $] (version) variable evaluates to 5.6. But inside ASP scripts, the version is 5.00503 (use warnings doesn't work in 5.00503). This is because Apache::ASP uses that same perl that mod_perl does. Just recompile your mod_perl with your new perl, and the problem will go away! Would you happen to know how to find out the pathname of the perl executable that Apache::ASP is using? I found a file called /usr/bin/perl5.00503, but relinking that to perl 5.6 had no effect. I would imagine that looking at @INC would give you a hit as to which perl you are using since the perl lib directories tend to have build numbers locations that are related. Also, does ASP have a directive for turning on -w? No. Enjoy the upgrade! -- Joshua _ Joshua Chamas Chamas Enterprises Inc.
