warnings::compat - warnings.pm emulation for pre-5.6 Perls
Version 0.07
use warnings::compat;
This is a module to help writing portable programs and modules across recent and old versions of Perl by providing a unique API to enable and disable warnings. Under the hood, it will use the real warnings.pm module when available, or install and use an emulation compatible with Perl 5.000. Therefore, use warnings::compat should do the right thing on every Perl version.
warnings.pm
use warnings::compat
If you want this module to be automatically installed by the CPAN shell on old Perls, simply add it to the prerequisites list in your Makefile.PL:
PREREQ_PM => { "warnings::compat" => 0, }
Note that only the files needed for your version of Perl will be installed (i.e., it won't install or overwrite the emulation modules on Perl 5.6 and later).
If you prefer to install it only on modern Perls, you can use this variant:
# on pre-5.6 Perls, add warnings::compat to the prereq modules push @extra_prereqs, "warnings::compat" if $] < 5.006; WriteMakefile( ... PREREQ_PM => { ... @extra_prereqs, }, );
