Re (tilly) 1: How do I get warnings to work properly?

On your last question, wanna help? :-)

The current status of the world is this. I rewrote the internals of Carp, the rewritten version is in the latest snapshot of Perl. I need to do some cleanup and documentation work, then write a test suite. (I am sick today, perhaps I will get some of that done.) It will be a while before I get around to studying the entire warnings system. The mechanism in my rewrite should (he blithely assumes) be enough to support the current warning semantics fairly easily and remove the OO related bugs. That may take some work.

OTOH I have a life with responsibilities, and I am not immune to distractions. If someone more motivated got to looking at how warnings should work I would be the loudest cheerer. (I am not looking forward to that.) Frankly my main interest is just seeing Carp get cleaned up a little and then fixing problems I saw in Exporter.

I'll have to take look. I'm the cretin responsible for Win32::EventLog::Carp (which uses some Carp internals to carp into the Windows NT event log).	[reply]

When I posted what I posted above I had not yet finished building the new version. It looks like my addition was held temporarily based on the strict stuff. (And possibly the current lack of tests.) If you follow p5p you will see the changes again soon.	[reply]
