I've not got a 64-bit perl laying around, but a look at perllexwarn for 5.8.0 pointed me to the "portable" category, so that this might work: `use warnings; no warnings "portable";` [download] If it doesn't help, there might be some other category you can try in perllexwarn. `-- Joost downtime n. The period during which a system is error-free and immune from user input.` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

perldoc -f perllexwarn should help some; at least it contains all the warning classes you can enable/disable. Which one this would be for you I have no idea, but given this starting point you should be able to find out. Update: oy vey, took me too long to write this it seems. Makeshifts last the longest.

`$SIG{__WARN__} = sub { warn $_[0] unless $_[0] =~ /portable/ };` [download] (Note: "no warnings 'portable';" is better, but does not work when the warnings pragma is not available.) - Yes, I reinvent wheels. - Spam: Visit eurotraQ.	[reply] [d/l]

Preventing that sort of constructs is ofcourse why warnings was invented in the first place. `-- Joost downtime n. The period during which a system is error-free and immune from user input.` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
