in thread Reloading changed modules

The module doesn't have 'use warnings;' in it does it? I've used the exact same technique to reload modules except for backwards compatibility I used 'local($^W) = 0;' to supress 'Subroutine redefined'.

    Your local($^W) = 0; does not work for me, I get 'Can't modify constant item in local ..'
    Using use warnings; at the top and then:
    no warnings;
eval "require $modname";
use warnings;

    Still produces the warnings :(

      Oops, I take it back.. It doesn't in eval "local($^W) = 0; require $modname;" Which is not suprising (silly me).
      Thanks all

    No it doesn't, but it has #!/usr/bin/perl -w at the top..

      *sigh* Yet another example of What's wrong with -w and $^W

      use warnings; unless you are on pre 5.6.
