Is there a way I can use strict for a cgi, but turn strict off (specifically warnings) for a particular section of the code?


Let's say for example, I have a use statement which calls upon a GT module, and sometimes I am not using this cgi with GT products.

So I want to supress the warnings by requiring the module and doing something before the require statement.

Any ideas?

sure, you can do

no strct 'vars';

etc. see perldoc strict for details

--mark

No you can't, but you can do:

no strict 'vars';



Although if it is for warning supression then won't it be:

local ($SIG{__DIE__}, $^W);

?

Yep, you can use no strict "..."; inside specific blocks of code if you need to. Chek the docs -> strict. The link doesn't specifically tell you that you can use no strict "whatever"; in blocks of code but I read it in one of my books somewhere.

Hi,

Thanks. But does this apply to subs also? It seems to be only for vars.



Edit: Thanks Paul and Chaz also.... perhaps the warning suppression is what I need here.

Finished tv paul?

For vars, subs and refs use:

no strict;

For individuals use:

no strict 'vars';
no strict 'subs';

etc...

or you can use combinations:

no strict 'vars subs';

If you can explain a little more about what you want to do that may make things clearer.

Yeah :)

Thanks Paul.


Gordon is actually writting it... I had best check this out first and see if this works.

I can't help but think of Thomas the Tank Engine when you say Gordon

LOL, Thomas is good!

Again, look at perldoc strict for more information.

If you don't have Perl on your own system and don't have access to the documentation on the server, see Perldoc.com to look up things like this.

Thanks.

(All our machines have perl on them).

I think we have this sorted now. :)
