my bad, warnings only effects the lexical scope, and the warnings are generated inside the POSIX module.

One workaround is to explicitly only import a non-conflicting sub BEGIN{ use_ok( 'POSIX', 'setsid' ); }. Or use require_ok, which doesn't import anything.

Or don't test for POSIX at all, it's been core since perl 5, and not likely to go away any time soon.

I will stop testing for POSIX, as you suggest. (The test file is automatically generated; but I can add an exception to it without too much difficulty!) Steve --	[reply]
