Thanks for the input, however we're running on a Linux box, so the use command is working as expected.

Blimey, there goes the simple theory. Whatever you do, do not simply ignore these warnings! There's something really fishy going on.

As for your snippet:

    use SUPPORT;
    use SUPPORT qw( %typeConvert %enumeratedTypes);
[download]

This should be perfectly fine. What happens is that the module, SUPPORT.pm, is loaded (thus compiled) once, but that SUPPORT->import is called twice, once without any extra parameters, and once with those two (as strings). So this can't trigger this warning.

I do suspect that indeed the same subs are defined twice, perhaps in different files. Scan your library file tree.

And perhaps one of the development tool modules can help analyze your compiled code. I'd try with B::Xref (call script with -MO=Xref) first.

• 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).
