Bug #29523 for DBD-XBase: New warnings with perl5.10.0

Thu Sep 20 18:38:58 2007 SREZIC [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:

New warnings with perl5.10.0

With perl5.10.0 there are new warnings when loading the XBase module: $ perl5.10.0 -MXBase -e1 Prototype mismatch: sub XBase::Base::O_BINARY () vs none at (eval 4) line 1. Constant subroutine O_BINARY redefined at (eval 4) line 1. I am not sure what's the best fix, but there seem to be two possibilities: * do not import anything from IO::File, i.e. write "use IO::File ()" * specify the prototype when defining the O_BINARY constant i.e. eval ' sub O_BINARY () { 0 } ' Regards, Slaven

How about just dropping the whole BEGIN {} part from Base.pm and use the constant IO::File already exports? -- dam

I am not sure if - O_BINARY is available on every platform where perl runs - O_BINARY was available in older perl versions Regards, Slaven

I tried just that, and it seems to fix the problem without any side-effect as far as I could see.
