Interesting, I've seen this warning when running "perl -Ilib lib/Log/Log4perl.pm" in the Log4perl distro package, but never with perldoc, in your version of perl, perldoc seems to run the code, which doesn't seem right. Anyway, the underlying problem is what I consider a bug in perl, namely if you have # A.pm package A; use warnings; use B; sub somesub { 1 } 1; and # B.pm package B; use A; 1; and then run $ perl -I. A.pm then perl will throw the warning "Subroutine somesub redefined at A.pm line 5.". Some people tried to explain it (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3428264/perl-subroutine-redefined), but in the end it's a bug and should be fixed in the perl core, which should be smart enough to detect the cycle. Log4perl could work around it by using "require" instead of "use", but in the end, I'd rather see it fixed in perl itself.
