Tk and -w

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

When I run a script with

use tk;

and the -w switch I get a whole bunch of errors in the form

Subroutine Tk::<some name> redefined at Tk.pm line 57

I checked the source and line 57 is a bootstrap call. Anybody else ever encounter this problem?

while i have not tried it myself, i think its rather safe to say this is not the trouble. if it were, no doubt there would be quite a few other errors, and "Tk.pm" as reported in the error would have never been used. about the actual question however. personally, i just use -w when writing the code, once i start using it full time i usually remove the -w, unless i plan to fix bugs later on. asides, one error isnt bad :)	[reply]

i think its rather safe to say this is not the trouble. I think it's safe to say that this is quite probably the problem, and that the OP is running on Windows, whose file system is case-insensitive, with confusing errors for those who mess up the case of their use statements.	[reply]
