in thread STDERR in Test Results

I came across this very interesting thread which reminded me why I didn't use warn - I don't want line numbers in the warnings from the module!

using warn instead or print STDERR?

The module does have the option to suppress or override warnings. I could use that but wanted to include the error situations in the tests.

    All you need to do is append a newline:

    #!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;

warn "foo";
warn "bar\n";

    $ perl warns.pl
foo at warns.pl line 5.
bar
$

[d/l]

      When debugging, I prefer it the other way around - I append "\n\t", which gives me the line number on a line of its own, and neatly indented.
