$SIG{__WARN__}
handler installed. It is the handler's responsibility to deal with the message as it sees fit (like, for instance, converting it into a die
). Most handlers must therefore arrange to actually display the warnings that they are not prepared to deal with, by calling warn
again in the handler. Note that this is quite safe and will not produce an endless loop, since __WARN__
hooks are not called from inside one.
