Re^2: Getopt - Validate arguments before processing -- BEGIN

The code in the BEGIN block runs before Perl has even seen your declaration of the subroutine sub first { .... To work around that, you need to move the BEGIN block below the subroutine declaration(s).

yes thanks Corion, I know that.. but probably I have expressed it poorly :) > (but I moved the help sub on top, so it is parsed before the BEGIN block, so it can be called: you must move other subs to give them a chance to be called) I just wanted to suppress the warning but I was not able to find its category, and neither `no warnings` suppresses it L* There are no rules, there are no thumbs.. Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

It's not a warning. It's a fatal error which `GetOptions` apparently catches and converts to a warning. And Corion told you how to fix it.	[reply] [d/l]
