Message while using modlues

tamaguchi has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I before I had a larger program with many subrutines. Now I have taken them out and created a module out of them. When I try to run the program for each subrutine in the module I get the error(?) message:

Subrutine xxx redefined at C:/... program line ..

Do you perhaps know why this message appears?

You seem to be loading a file more than once that defines functions. That shouldn't really happen. Are you doing `do "somefile.pl"` to load the function definitions? If so, you shouldn't be. You should be using `require "somefile.pl"` instead. But then again, you haven't shown any code at all, so I could be entirely wrong.

You can use diagnostics module to understand many warnings and errors... Using this code: `use warnings; use strict; sub a{ 1 }; sub a{ 2 };` [download] Diagnostics says: `$ perl -Mdiagnostics x Subroutine a redefined at x line 6 (#1) (W redefine) You redefined a subroutine. To suppress this warning +, say { no warnings 'redefine'; eval "sub name { ... }"; }` [download] ............. -- Marco Antonio Rio-PM	[reply] [d/l] [select]
