in thread Apache and Perl's -w

Just to be clear, the code in question already had use warnings; This is some silly requirement imposed (I suppose) by the ISP. Code without '-w' does not run and generates bogus error messages in error.log. Hence my question about how and why.

    Sorry, I misunderstood the question. As for the how, I'm not sure. For the why, possibly some weird 'security' concern. (Not that I can see any way that warnings would improve security, when they are allowing you to execute arbitrary code on their machines, but I've seen alot of such stupidity from less than knowlegable people)
