warnings-compat

NAME

warnings::compat - warnings.pm emulation for pre-5.6 Perls

DESCRIPTION

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.
