Re^3: trapping -w warnings

I liked this enough that I bookmarked this in my delicious collection -- helped me debug a nasty problem.

I did things slightly differently though -- more localized, I think.

    {
      local $SIG{__WARN__} = sub {
        my @warnings = @_;
        foreach my $warning (@warnings) {
            print "got a warning: $warning\n";
          }
      };
      eval {'' =~ /$re/ };
    }

cheers.

AFAIK `$SIG{__WARN__}` is only ever called with one parameter: the current warning. So your loop is most likely useless. You can print each warning as it comes along. But what I did was collect the warnings first so you can print them out as a block. That may be useful if you want just one block, for example when printing warnings in a HTML page on a web server.

On second thought, I don't think I needed that eval block. This works fine too. `use strict; use warnings; { local $SIG{__WARN__} = sub { my @warnings = @_; foreach my $warning (@warnings) { warn "in handleEncoding, got a warning: $warning\n"; } }; warn "blee"; warn "blah"; warn "bloo"; }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
