Dear Monks,

I am trying to become familiar with Damians Class::Std, and I am getting these redefine warnings when I run my code : 
Subroutine UNIVERSAL::VERSION redefined at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-l
+inux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 249.
Subroutine UNIVERSAL::can redefined at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/
+Class/Std.pm line 506.

I've tried this on Perl 5.8.0 on RHEL 3, and 5.8.6 on Cygwin with the same result (although different line number in DynaLoader.pm).

I'm sure it is something stupid I'm doing, but can't figure out what. Here is my class definition : 
package TestBase;

use strict;
use warnings;

use Class::Std;

{
    my %prop1 : ATTR( init_arg => 'prop1' get => 'prop1' set => 'prop1
+' );
    my %prop2 : ATTR( init_arg => 'prop2' get => 'prop2' set => 'prop2
+' );

    1;
}

and here is the script : 
#!/usr/bin/perl -W

use strict;
use warnings;

use TestBase;

my $b = TestBase->new( { prop1 => 'hello', prop2 => 'world' } );
print $b->_DUMP ;
print 'b->prop1 = ' . $b->get_prop1 . "\n";
print 'b->prop2 = ' . $b->get_prop2 . "\n";
$b->set_prop1('horrendo');
$b->set_prop2('revolver');
print $b->_DUMP ;

I know the warnings aren't fatal, but I would prefer they weren't there. I checked the code in Class::Std and just before the eval that generates the warning, there is a line 
    no warnings 'redefine';

I would have thought this would suppress the warning.

I appreciate your help.

Regards,

Steve
