CGI(?) problems ...

NaSe77 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

when starting my script I get :

Subroutine i redefined at /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/CGI.pm line 241.
Prototype mismatch: sub main::i () vs none at /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/CGI
+.pm line 241.
[download]

on STDERR, but that is very strange because I dont have a main::i subroutine in my script.

Or am i just reading the errormessage the wrong way ?

Help please...

It depends a bit on how you used `use CGI;`, but you may very well have an `main::i` function. Don't forget <i> is a valid HTML element, and hence `CGI` may export it (for instance, when you do `use CGI qw /:standard/;`). Abigail	[reply] [d/l]

found the problem ... it was infact a mixup between 2 imported modules (`CGI` and `Math::Complex`) of which each exports a `sub i`. thanks to Abigaile-II for the hint ---- NaSe :x	[reply]
