hello,

i'm creating a CGI::Application based webapp under mod_perl 2 and i switched to Apache2::Reload so i don't have to restart Apache everytime i make a change to one of the webapp's modules.

at the start of the modules i use the  use warnings FATAL => 'all'; pragma, but that dies with Subroutine redefined... unless i specify  no warnings 'redefine';. Everything works fine if i only  use warnings; (no warnings in the Apache's log).

so i have the solution to my problem, but i would like to understand why this happens as i couldn't find much information elsewhere. thank you for your time.

UPDATE: i didn't get any warnings when  use warnings; because i was using  PerlSetVar ReloadConstantRedefineWarnings Off in my Apache configuration... i don't understand what's with the warnings about redefined things and why would them be useful in a non-persistent environment...

In reply to Apache2::Reload and use warnings FATAL => 'all' by asz
