Prototype mismatch: sub B::OP::size: none vs () at

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

Dear Monks:

I've googled for the following error that I am receiving but haven't across anything useful.

I'm attempting to measure the memory usage of subroutines in a Apache/mod_perl 1.29 application.

My Apache configuration includes the following:

  <Location /perl-status>
    SetHandler perl-script
    PerlHandler Apache::Status
    order deny,allow
    #deny from all
    #allow from ...
  </Location>

  PerlSetVar StatusOptionsAll On
  PerlSetVar StatusTerse On
  PerlSetVar StatusTerseSize On
  PerlSetVar StatusTerseSizeMainSummary On

  PerlModule B::TerseSize

After including these directives in my Apache configuration I started Apache up via httpd -X and discovered the following error:

Prototype mismatch: sub B::OP::size: none vs () at 
/home/madams/XpanceNET/dist/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i686-linux/B/Size.pm line 24.

Does anyone have any idea why I might be getting this error, what it means and and what I can do to resolve it?

Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Matt

It's nothing you can really help and can be ignored by you. It has to do with a function being declared with an empty prototype (e.g. `sub foo () {...}`) and another with no prototype (e.g. `sub bar {...}`) and then having the prototyped one become an alias to the unprototyped one: `sub foo () { return "foo\n" } sub bar { return "bar\n" } foo = \&bar;` [download] Jeff `japhy` Pinyan, P.L., P.M., P.O.D, X.S.: Perl, regex, and `perl` hacker How can we ever be the sold short or the cheated, we who for every service have long ago been overpaid? ~~ Meister Eckhart*	[reply] [d/l] [select]

If you want to get rid of the warning, you can use: `no warnings qw(syntax);` [download] I hope there's a more specific form for "prototype", but I can't make out the docs past "syntax". (I'm not sure if you want to do this inside a block, or for the whole script. See warnings for more info.) -QM -- Quantum Mechanics: The dreams stuff is made of	[reply] [d/l]
