509=head1 DESCRIPTION
510
a7f2b7af
RS
511The C<warnings> pragma gives control over which warnings are enabled in
512which parts of a Perl program. It's a more flexible alternative for
513both the command line flag B<-w> and the equivalent Perl variable,
514C<$^W>.
fe2e802c 515
a7f2b7af
RS
516This pragma works just like the C<strict> pragma.
517This means that the scope of the warning pragma is limited to the
518enclosing block. It also means that the pragma setting will not
519leak across files (via C<use>, C<require> or C<do>). This allows
520authors to independently define the degree of warning checks that will
521be applied to their module.
599cee73 522
a7f2b7af
RS
523By default, optional warnings are disabled, so any legacy code that
524doesn't attempt to control the warnings will work unchanged.
525
3c3f8cd6 526All warnings are enabled in a block by either of these:
a7f2b7af
RS
527
528 use warnings;
529 use warnings 'all';
530
3c3f8cd6 531Similarly all warnings are disabled in a block by either of these:
a7f2b7af
RS
532
533 no warnings;
534 no warnings 'all';
535
536For example, consider the code below:
537
538 use warnings;
539 my @a;
540 {
541 no warnings;
542 my $b = @a[0];
543 }
544 my $c = @a[0];
545
546The code in the enclosing block has warnings enabled, but the inner
547block has them disabled. In this case that means the assignment to the
548scalar C<$c> will trip the C<"Scalar value @a[0] better written as $a[0]">
549warning, but the assignment to the scalar C<$b> will not.
550
551=head2 Default Warnings and Optional Warnings
552
553Before the introduction of lexical warnings, Perl had two classes of
56873d42 554warnings: mandatory and optional.
a7f2b7af
RS
555
556As its name suggests, if your code tripped a mandatory warning, you
557would get a warning whether you wanted it or not.
558For example, the code below would always produce an C<"isn't numeric">
559warning about the "2:".
560
561 my $a = "2:" + 3;
562
563With the introduction of lexical warnings, mandatory warnings now become
564I<default> warnings. The difference is that although the previously
565mandatory warnings are still enabled by default, they can then be
566subsequently enabled or disabled with the lexical warning pragma. For
567example, in the code below, an C<"isn't numeric"> warning will only
568be reported for the C<$a> variable.
569
570 my $a = "2:" + 3;
571 no warnings;
572 my $b = "2:" + 3;
573
574Note that neither the B<-w> flag or the C<$^W> can be used to
575disable/enable default warnings. They are still mandatory in this case.
576
577=head2 What's wrong with B<-w> and C<$^W>
578
579Although very useful, the big problem with using B<-w> on the command
580line to enable warnings is that it is all or nothing. Take the typical
581scenario when you are writing a Perl program. Parts of the code you
582will write yourself, but it's very likely that you will make use of
583pre-written Perl modules. If you use the B<-w> flag in this case, you
584end up enabling warnings in pieces of code that you haven't written.
585
586Similarly, using C<$^W> to either disable or enable blocks of code is
587fundamentally flawed. For a start, say you want to disable warnings in
588a block of code. You might expect this to be enough to do the trick:
589
590 {
591 local ($^W) = 0;
592 my $a =+ 2;
593 my $b; chop $b;
594 }
595
596When this code is run with the B<-w> flag, a warning will be produced
597for the C<$a> line: C<"Reversed += operator">.
598
599The problem is that Perl has both compile-time and run-time warnings. To
600disable compile-time warnings you need to rewrite the code like this:
601
602 {
603 BEGIN { $^W = 0 }
604 my $a =+ 2;
605 my $b; chop $b;
606 }
607
608The other big problem with C<$^W> is the way you can inadvertently
609change the warning setting in unexpected places in your code. For example,
610when the code below is run (without the B<-w> flag), the second call
611to C<doit> will trip a C<"Use of uninitialized value"> warning, whereas
612the first will not.
613
614 sub doit
615 {
616 my $b; chop $b;
617 }
618
619 doit();
620
621 {
622 local ($^W) = 1;
623 doit()
624 }
625
626This is a side-effect of C<$^W> being dynamically scoped.
627
628Lexical warnings get around these limitations by allowing finer control
629over where warnings can or can't be tripped.
630
631=head2 Controlling Warnings from the Command Line
632
633There are three Command Line flags that can be used to control when
634warnings are (or aren't) produced:
635
636=over 5
637
638=item B<-w>
639X<-w>
640
641This is the existing flag. If the lexical warnings pragma is B<not>
642used in any of you code, or any of the modules that you use, this flag
643will enable warnings everywhere. See L<Backward Compatibility> for
644details of how this flag interacts with lexical warnings.
645
646=item B<-W>
647X<-W>
648
3c3f8cd6 649If the B<-W> flag is used on the command line, it will enable all warnings
a7f2b7af
RS
650throughout the program regardless of whether warnings were disabled
651locally using C<no warnings> or C<$^W =0>.
652This includes all files that get
653included via C<use>, C<require> or C<do>.
654Think of it as the Perl equivalent of the "lint" command.
655
656=item B<-X>
657X<-X>
658
3c3f8cd6 659Does the exact opposite to the B<-W> flag, i.e. it disables all warnings.

a7f2b7af
RS
663=head2 Backward Compatibility
664
665If you are used to working with a version of Perl prior to the
666introduction of lexically scoped warnings, or have code that uses both
667lexical warnings and C<$^W>, this section will describe how they interact.
668
669How Lexical Warnings interact with B<-w>/C<$^W>:
670
671=over 5
672
673=item 1.
674
675If none of the three command line flags (B<-w>, B<-W> or B<-X>) that
676control warnings is used and neither C<$^W> nor the C<warnings> pragma
677are used, then default warnings will be enabled and optional warnings
678disabled.
679This means that legacy code that doesn't attempt to control the warnings
680will work unchanged.
681
682=item 2.
683
684The B<-w> flag just sets the global C<$^W> variable as in 5.005. This
685means that any legacy code that currently relies on manipulating C<$^W>
56873d42 686to control warning behavior will still work as is.
a7f2b7af
RS
687
688=item 3.
689
690Apart from now being a boolean, the C<$^W> variable operates in exactly
691the same horrible uncontrolled global way, except that it cannot
692disable/enable default warnings.
693
694=item 4.
695
696If a piece of code is under the control of the C<warnings> pragma,
697both the C<$^W> variable and the B<-w> flag will be ignored for the
698scope of the lexical warning.
699
700=item 5.
701
702The only way to override a lexical warnings setting is with the B<-W>
703or B<-X> command line flags.
704
705=back
706
707The combined effect of 3 & 4 is that it will allow code which uses
708the C<warnings> pragma to control the warning behavior of $^W-type
709code (using a C<local $^W=0>) if it really wants to, but not vice-versa.
710
711=head2 Category Hierarchy
712X<warning, categories>
713
714A hierarchy of "categories" have been defined to allow groups of warnings
715to be enabled/disabled in isolation.
716
717The current hierarchy is:

853Just like the "strict" pragma any of these categories can be combined
854
855 use warnings qw(void redefine);
856 no warnings qw(io syntax untie);
857
858Also like the "strict" pragma, if there is more than one instance of the
56873d42 859C<warnings> pragma in a given scope the cumulative effect is additive.
a7f2b7af
RS
860
861 use warnings qw(void); # only "void" warnings enabled
862 ...
863 use warnings qw(io); # only "void" & "io" warnings enabled
864 ...
865 no warnings qw(void); # only "io" warnings enabled
866
867To determine which category a specific warning has been assigned to see
868L<perldiag>.
869
870Note: Before Perl 5.8.0, the lexical warnings category "deprecated" was a
871sub-category of the "syntax" category. It is now a top-level category
872in its own right.
873

874Note: Before 5.21.0, the "missing" lexical warnings category was

877
a7f2b7af
RS
878=head2 Fatal Warnings
879X<warning, fatal>
880
2e4abf26
DG
881The presence of the word "FATAL" in the category list will escalate
882warnings in those categories into fatal errors in that lexical scope.
883
884B<NOTE:> FATAL warnings should be used with care, particularly
885C<< FATAL => 'all' >>.
886
887Libraries using L<warnings::warn|/FUNCTIONS> for custom warning categories
888generally don't expect L<warnings::warn|/FUNCTIONS> to be fatal and can wind up
889in an unexpected state as a result. For XS modules issuing categorized
890warnings, such unanticipated exceptions could also expose memory leak bugs.
891
892Moreover, the Perl interpreter itself has had serious bugs involving
893fatalized warnings. For a summary of resolved and unresolved problems as
894of January 2015, please see
895L<this perl5-porters post|http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2015/01/msg225235.html>.
896
897While some developers find fatalizing some warnings to be a useful
898defensive programming technique, using C<< FATAL => 'all' >> to fatalize
899all possible warning categories -- including custom ones -- is particularly
900risky. Therefore, the use of C<< FATAL => 'all' >> is
901L<discouraged|perlpolicy/discouraged>.
902
903The L<strictures|strictures/VERSION-2> module on CPAN offers one example of
904a warnings subset that the module's authors believe is relatively safe to
905fatalize.
906
907B<NOTE:> users of FATAL warnings, especially those using
908C<< FATAL => 'all' >>, should be fully aware that they are risking future
909portability of their programs by doing so. Perl makes absolutely no
910commitments to not introduce new warnings or warnings categories in the
911future; indeed, we explicitly reserve the right to do so. Code that may
912not warn now may warn in a future release of Perl if the Perl5 development
913team deems it in the best interests of the community to do so. Should code
914using FATAL warnings break due to the introduction of a new warning we will
915NOT consider it an incompatible change. Users of FATAL warnings should
916take special caution during upgrades to check to see if their code triggers
917any new warnings and should pay particular attention to the fine print of
918the documentation of the features they use to ensure they do not exploit
919features that are documented as risky, deprecated, or unspecified, or where
920the documentation says "so don't do that", or anything with the same sense
921and spirit. Use of such features in combination with FATAL warnings is
922ENTIRELY AT THE USER'S RISK.
923
924The following documentation describes how to use FATAL warnings but the
925perl5 porters strongly recommend that you understand the risks before doing
926so, especially for library code intended for use by others, as there is no
927way for downstream users to change the choice of fatal categories.
928
929In the code below, the use of C<time>, C<length>
a7f2b7af
RS
930and C<join> can all produce a C<"Useless use of xxx in void context">
931warning.
932
933 use warnings;
934
935 time;
936
937 {
938 use warnings FATAL => qw(void);
939 length "abc";
940 }
941
942 join "", 1,2,3;
943
944 print "done\n";
945
946When run it produces this output
947
948 Useless use of time in void context at fatal line 3.
56873d42 949 Useless use of length in void context at fatal line 7.
a7f2b7af
RS
950
951The scope where C<length> is used has escalated the C<void> warnings
952category into a fatal error, so the program terminates immediately when it
953encounters the warning.
954
955To explicitly turn off a "FATAL" warning you just disable the warning
956it is associated with. So, for example, to disable the "void" warning
957in the example above, either of these will do the trick:
958
959 no warnings qw(void);
960 no warnings FATAL => qw(void);
961
962If you want to downgrade a warning that has been escalated into a fatal
963error back to a normal warning, you can use the "NONFATAL" keyword. For
964example, the code below will promote all warnings into fatal errors,
965except for those in the "syntax" category.
966
967 use warnings FATAL => 'all', NONFATAL => 'syntax';
968
969As of Perl 5.20, instead of C<< use warnings FATAL => 'all'; >> you can
970use:
971
972 use v5.20; # Perl 5.20 or greater is required for the following
973 use warnings 'FATAL'; # short form of "use warnings FATAL => 'all';"
974
975If you want your program to be compatible with versions of Perl before
9765.20, you must use C<< use warnings FATAL => 'all'; >> instead. (In
977previous versions of Perl, the behavior of the statements
978C<< use warnings 'FATAL'; >>, C<< use warnings 'NONFATAL'; >> and
979C<< no warnings 'FATAL'; >> was unspecified; they did not behave as if
980they included the C<< => 'all' >> portion. As of 5.20, they do.)

982=head2 Reporting Warnings from a Module
983X<warning, reporting> X<warning, registering>
984
985The C<warnings> pragma provides a number of functions that are useful for
986module authors. These are used when you want to report a module-specific
987warning to a calling module has enabled warnings via the C<warnings>
988pragma.
989
990Consider the module C<MyMod::Abc> below.
991
992 package MyMod::Abc;
993
994 use warnings::register;
995
996 sub open {
997 my $path = shift;
998 if ($path !~ m#^/#) {
999 warnings::warn("changing relative path to /var/abc")
1000 if warnings::enabled();
1001 $path = "/var/abc/$path";
1002 }
1003 }
1004
1005 1;
1006
1007The call to C<warnings::register> will create a new warnings category
1008called "MyMod::Abc", i.e. the new category name matches the current
1009package name. The C<open> function in the module will display a warning
1010message if it gets given a relative path as a parameter. This warnings
1011will only be displayed if the code that uses C<MyMod::Abc> has actually
1012enabled them with the C<warnings> pragma like below.
1013
1014 use MyMod::Abc;
1015 use warnings 'MyMod::Abc';
1016 ...
1017 abc::open("../fred.txt");
1018
1019It is also possible to test whether the pre-defined warnings categories are
1020set in the calling module with the C<warnings::enabled> function. Consider
1021this snippet of code:
1022
1023 package MyMod::Abc;

1037The function C<open> has been deprecated, so code has been included to
1038display a warning message whenever the calling module has (at least) the
1039"deprecated" warnings category enabled. Something like this, say.
1040
1041 use warnings 'deprecated';
1042 use MyMod::Abc;
1043 ...
1044 MyMod::Abc::open($filename);
1045
1046Either the C<warnings::warn> or C<warnings::warnif> function should be
1047used to actually display the warnings message. This is because they can
1048make use of the feature that allows warnings to be escalated into fatal
1049errors. So in this case
1050
1051 use MyMod::Abc;
1052 use warnings FATAL => 'MyMod::Abc';
1053 ...
1054 MyMod::Abc::open('../fred.txt');
1055
1056the C<warnings::warnif> function will detect this and die after
1057displaying the warning message.
1058
1059The three warnings functions, C<warnings::warn>, C<warnings::warnif>
1060and C<warnings::enabled> can optionally take an object reference in place
1061of a category name. In this case the functions will use the class name
1062of the object as the warnings category.
1063
1064Consider this example:
1065
1066 package Original;
1067
1068 no warnings;
1069 use warnings::register;
1070
1071 sub new
