note armstd <p>I guess my question then is are the reused symbols/tokens really a problem, or is it just the warnings? Do the tokens need to be scoped tighter than global to avoid conflict? </p> <p>If it's just the warnings, you can turn them off a variety of ways, like using 'use warnings;' (lexically scoped to just your own code) instead of 'perl -w' (global). If you do modify exportTo(), you can also just remove the Carp call. That 'if ($^W)' is just checking to see if warnings are enabled. </p> <!-- Node text goes above.
