I try to catch into a variable this warning:
Useless use of a variable in void context
I have tried to trap it with $SIG{__WARN__} but it doesn't work outside of a BEGIN block, and that's what I want. Here's some code:
lorien:~$ perl -wle '$SIG{__WARN__}=sub{print"TRAPED"};s///'
TRAPED
TRAPED
lorien:~$ perl -wle '$SIG{__WARN__}=sub{print"TRAPED"};$.,$.=0'
Useless use of a variable in void context at -e line 1.
lorien:~$ perl -wle 'BEGIN{$SIG{__WARN__}=sub{print"TRAPED"};}$.,$.=0
+'
TRAPED
I have tried to use it inside an eval block:
lorien:~$ perl -wle '$SIG{__WARN__}=sub{print"TRAPED"};eval q{$.,$.=0
+;}'
lorien:~$
lorien:~$ perl -wle '$SIG{__WARN__}=sub{print"TRAPED"};eval {$.,$.=0;
+}'
Useless use of a variable in void context at -e line 1.
lorien:~$
Any idea of why that happens and how to catch it without a BEGIN block?
