Hey, this is a wierd problem and I really haven't been able to figure out why it's happening, so maybe some of you monks can help!

I've implemented a module that happens to have a __WARN__ signal handler (let's call it TheLoader) and a universal autoloader: 
package TheLoader;

BEGIN
{
   $SIG{__WARN__} = sub 
   {
       return if $_[0] =~ /inherited AUTOLOAD/;
       print STDERR @_;
   };
}

package UNIVERSAL

sub AUTOLOAD
{
   ...
}

All of my other modules use this package. I also have a few .cgi files that just use the modules they need (they don't use TheLoader directly, but they all use at least one module that uses TheLoader)

When I load up a .cgi file through the web server (apache), I end up getting the warnings I'm trying to suppress. 
Use of inherited AUTOLOAD for non-method Foo::Bar::getSomething() is d
+eprecated at ....Test.pm line 200 (#1)

I would have thought that my signal handler for __WARN__ would have handled this signal correctly. I've seen it suppress other warnings from running my tests, but with this setup it's not.

Anyone have clues? Many thanks.
