here: "; my $a, $b = scalar ; print "\n"; print $x/$y; If you prefer to run your program first and look at its problem afterwards, do this: perl -w test.pl 2>test.out ./splain < test.out Note that this is not in general possible in shells of more dubious heritage, as the theoretical (perl -w test.pl >/dev/tty) >& test.out ./splain < test.out Because you just moved the existing B to somewhere else. If you don't want to modify your source code, but still have on-the-fly warnings, do this: exec 3>&1; perl -w test.pl 2>&1 1>&3 3>&- | splain 1>&2 3>&- Nifty, eh? If you want to control warnings on the fly, do something like this. Make sure you do the C first, or you won't be able to get at the enable() or disable() methods. use diagnostics; # checks entire compilation phase print "\ntime for 1st bogus diags: SQUAWKINGS\n"; print BOGUS1 'nada'; print "done with 1st bogus\n"; disable diagnostics; # only turns off runtime warnings print "\ntime for 2nd bogus: (squelched)\n"; print BOGUS2 'nada'; print "done with 2nd bogus\n"; enable diagnostics; # turns back on runtime warnings print "\ntime for 3rd bogus: SQUAWKINGS\n"; print BOGUS3 'nada'; print "done with 3rd bogus\n"; disable diagnostics; print "\ntime for 4th bogus: (squelched)\n"; print BOGUS4 'nada'; print "done with 4th bogus\n"; =head1 INTERNALS Diagnostic messages derive from the F file when available at runtime. Otherwise, they may be embedded in the file itself when the splain package is built. See the F for details. If an extant $SIG{__WARN__} handler is discovered, it will continue to be honored, but only after the diagnostics::splainthis() function (the module's $SIG{__WARN__} interceptor) has had its way with your warnings. There is a $diagnostics::DEBUG variable you may set if you're desperately curious what sorts of things are being intercepted. BEGIN { $diagnostics::DEBUG = 1 } =head1 BUGS Not being able to say "no diagnostics" is annoying, but may not be insurmountable. The C<-pretty> directive is called too late to affect matters. You have to do this instead, and I you load the module. BEGIN { $diagnostics::PRETTY = 1 } I could start up faster by delaying compilation until it should be needed, but this gets a "panic: top_level" when using the pragma form in Perl 5.001e. While it's true that this documentation is somewhat subserious, if you use a program named I, you should expect a bit of whimsy. =head1 AUTHOR Tom Christiansen >, 25 June 1995. =cut use strict; use 5.009001; use Carp; $Carp::Internal{__PACKAGE__.""}++; our $VERSION = '1.28'; our $DEBUG; our $VERBOSE; our $PRETTY; our $TRACEONLY = 0; our $WARNTRACE = 0; use Config; my $privlib = $Config{privlibexp}; if ($^O eq 'VMS') { require VMS::Filespec; $privlib = VMS::Filespec::unixify($privlib); } my @trypod = ( "$privlib/pod/perldiag.pod", "$privlib/pods/perldiag.pod", ); # handy for development testing of new warnings etc unshift @trypod, "./pod/perldiag.pod" if -e "pod/perldiag.pod"; (my $PODFILE) = ((grep { -e } @trypod), $trypod[$#trypod])[0]; $DEBUG ||= 0; my $WHOAMI = ref bless []; # nobody's business, prolly not even mine local $| = 1; local $_; local $.; my $standalone; my(%HTML_2_Troff, %HTML_2_Latin_1, %HTML_2_ASCII_7); CONFIG: { our $opt_p = our $opt_d = our $opt_v = our $opt_f = ''; unless (caller) { $standalone++; require Getopt::Std; Getopt::Std::getopts('pdvf:') or die "Usage: $0 [-v] [-p] [-f splainpod]"; $PODFILE = $opt_f if $opt_f; $DEBUG = 2 if $opt_d; $VERBOSE = $opt_v; $PRETTY = $opt_p; } if (open(POD_DIAG, $PODFILE)) { warn "Happy happy podfile from real $PODFILE\n" if $DEBUG; last CONFIG; } if (caller) { INCPATH: { for my $file ( (map { "$_/$WHOAMI.pm" } @INC), $0) { warn "Checking $file\n" if $DEBUG; if (open(POD_DIAG, $file)) { while () { next unless /^__END__\s*# wish diag dbase were more accessible/; print STDERR "podfile is $file\n" if $DEBUG; last INCPATH; } } } } } else { print STDERR "podfile is \n" if $DEBUG; *POD_DIAG = *main::DATA; } } if (eof(POD_DIAG)) { die "couldn't find diagnostic data in $PODFILE @INC $0"; } %HTML_2_Troff = ( 'amp' => '&', # ampersand 'lt' => '<', # left chevron, less-than 'gt' => '>', # right chevron, greater-than 'quot' => '"', # double quote "Aacute" => "A\\*'", # capital A, acute accent # etc ); %HTML_2_Latin_1 = ( 'amp' => '&', # ampersand 'lt' => '<', # left chevron, less-than 'gt' => '>', # right chevron, greater-than 'quot' => '"', # double quote "Aacute" => "\xC1" # capital A, acute accent # etc ); %HTML_2_ASCII_7 = ( 'amp' => '&', # ampersand 'lt' => '<', # left chevron, less-than 'gt' => '>', # right chevron, greater-than 'quot' => '"', # double quote "Aacute" => "A" # capital A, acute accent # etc ); our %HTML_Escapes; *HTML_Escapes = do { if ($standalone) { $PRETTY ? \%HTML_2_Latin_1 : \%HTML_2_ASCII_7; } else { \%HTML_2_Latin_1; } }; *THITHER = $standalone ? *STDOUT : *STDERR; my %transfmt = (); my $transmo = <) { sub _split_pod_link { $_[0] =~ '(?:([^|]*)\|)?([^/]*)(?:/("?)(.*)\3)?'; ($1,$2,$4); } unescape(); if ($PRETTY) { sub noop { return $_[0] } # spensive for a noop sub bold { my $str =$_[0]; $str =~ s/(.)/$1\b$1/g; return $str; } sub italic { my $str = $_[0]; $str =~ s/(.)/_\b$1/g; return $str; } s/C<<< (.*?) >>>|C<< (.*?) >>|[BC]<(.*?)>/bold($+)/ges; s/[IF]<(.*?)>/italic($1)/ges; s/L<(.*?)>/ my($text,$page,$sect) = _split_pod_link($1); defined $text ? $text : defined $sect ? italic($sect) .
