in thread How can I suppress 'uninitialized' warnings in a CPAN module?
Correct yes but...
> line 14 : local $SIG{__WARN__} = \&suppress_UV_warning;
Personally I prefer anonymous subs if I never need to call them by name.
> line 50 : warn $message;
You should check the Perl-version, IIRC this causes an endless loop in Perl older < 5.8 (?) (Too lazy to look up when it was exactly fixed)
Newer versions are fool proof. ;-)
update
Talking about "generic solutions":
Please be aware that this approach doesn't help if the module in question is also recklessly overwriting $SIG{__WARN__}
Therefore a safe way of overriding is to create a wrapper, which calls the overridden handler from within (if present in $SIG{__WARN__}).
But you can only be sure after checking the source code of the module in question.
