Hi Monks,

While running a script on a newly setup server I discovered that the scripts refused to run without the -w switch.

A good opportunity to clean up my old code I thought.

Then I discovered some unusual warnings:
1) Why does it warn: print() on closed filehandle OUT at wm-sql.pl line 123. 

  open(OUT,">>$sql_file");
  print OUT localtime().' ^ '.$pid.' ^ '.$_[0]."\n";
  close(OUT);

It looks open before I print and closed after to me.

2) Name "main::portalserver" used only once: possible typo at..

I define variables in one bit of code then use them in another 'required' file in a rather obscure but functional way.

Can I hide these warnings? (do I just have to do some dummy work on each to fool it or is there a smarter way?)

Thanks,
