How to use warnings in Apache::ASP?
Is there a way to make it so that all Apache::ASP scripts on my site have
"use warnings;" on by default (something analogous to PerlSetVar Strict 1
and use strict;)? Or do I just have to put "use warnings;" in every file?
I searched the nodeworks.com/asp site (keyword warning/warnings) as well
as the modperl mailing list archive (keyword "warning ASP" and "warnings
ASP") but could not find anything.

This is because Apache::ASP uses that same perl that mod_perl does.
Just recompile your mod_perl with your new perl, and the problem
will go away!

I would imagine that looking at @INC would give you a hit
as to which perl you are using since the perl lib directories
tend to have build numbers & locations that are related.

No.
Enjoy the upgrade!

warnings.pm is a new package introduced in a recent version of perl. AFAIK
it acts just like -w.

I just tried doing the global.asa thing, but I realized another problem.
Recently, I installed a new version of perl on my system (upgraded 5.00503
to 5.6). Something went wrong though; Apache::ASP is still using the old
version of perl. If I run /usr/bin/perl, /usr/local/bin/perl, or a CGI
script, the $] (version) variable evaluates to 5.6. But inside ASP
scripts, the version is 5.00503 (use warnings doesn't work in 5.00503).
Would you happen to know how to find out the pathname of the perl
executable that Apache::ASP is using? I found a file called
/usr/bin/perl5.00503, but relinking that to perl 5.6 had no effect.
Also, does ASP have a directive for turning on -w?

warnings is NOT a module (someone called it that
in another post). Its a pragma (new, as of perl 5.6), like
'use strict', which means you can turn it on or off locally in
any block. (Or turn parts of it on or off).
HTH,

Does putting it into your global.asa do the trick? Its
the same namespace as all of your scripts unless you use
UniquePackages setting.
I'm thinking about a Script_OnCompile or Script_OnParse
event, maybe you could add it to all of your perl at
that time?
