Hi folks,

When I use Socket; in a script of mine that I recently wrote under Perl 5.8.3 under Solaris 8 I see the following spew: 

Subroutine POSIX::WNOHANG redefined at
        /usr/local/software/perl-5.8.3/lib/5.8.3/sun4-solaris/POSIX.pm
+ line 48 (#1)
    (W redefine) You redefined a subroutine.  To suppress this warning
+, say
     
        {
        no warnings 'redefine';
        eval "sub name { ... }";
        }

Is anybody esle seeing this? Did I miss an FM to R?

Compilation was done with gcc 

Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/2.95.2/
+specs
gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)

so the age of the compiler being the problem would not surprise me in the least.
