The warnings framework is new in 5.6.0, so anything that uses it is non-backportable.

And there is no way I can possibly think of to make it work for < 5.6. warnings (as most pragmas) is an internal framework -- if you look at warnings.pm and warnings/register.pm, you'll see that all they do is set some bits and variables. perl itself has to do the checking of those things. perl binary 5.005 and back don't do that checking.

Sorry :-(.

Update: Oops. Put a bare < in the second paragraph, which kinda messed up what it was supposed to say. All good now.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Do you know where your variables are?
