Re: I don't care about *your* warnings!

Update: Sorry for my previous wrong answer. I was thinking about some code of mine that uses warnings::register. Then the caller can turn off its warnings:

{
  no warnings qw( PackageName );
  PackageName::subname(...);
}
[download]

Of course, that requires more cooperation from the used module than the OP has.

No, that's wrong. The warnings pragma is lexically (statically) scoped, not dynamically scoped. `{ package OtherModule; use warnings; sub routine { my $n = 0; my $i = $n + "a"; } } { no warnings; OtherModule->routine(); }` [download] `Argument "a" isn't numeric in addition (+) at 602580.pl line 4.` [download] And unfortunately, `use warnings;` (and `no warnings;`) overrides `$^W`. `{ package OtherModule; use warnings; sub routine { my $n = 0; my $i = $n + "a"; } } { local $^W = 0; OtherModule->routine(); }` [download] `Argument "a" isn't numeric in addition (+) at 602580.pl line 4.` [download] Update: The warnings was initially a compile-time warning. Fixed it to be a run-time warning.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

If the other module has 'use warnings;', you should be able to suppress its warnings with a block like this No you shouldn't. The 'warnings' pragma's effect is lexically scoped, not dynamically scoped. Dave.	[reply]

That's actually the first thing I tried. I'm having trouble overriding Test::Class methods when I sub-class (I'm still working on that problem) but even if I localize the module and modify it to put the call in a block with warnings turned off, it still emits warnings. That method still doesn't work even in this simplified example: `{ no warnings; Foo->bar(); } package Foo; use warnings; sub bar{ print $baz }` [download] Or am I doing something wrong here?
