Question

I am receiving the following error when the configure page is loaded. While it appears as though I am able to save changes, does anyone know why this error is being thrown and if it may have ill effects?

[Mon May 21 08:35:50 2007] [error] [client 10.10.24.122] Subroutine TWiki::Configure::Checker::tmpfile redefined at /perl5.8.7/lib/5.8.7/Exporter.pm line 65.

The specific line in Export.pm which is failing is:

# shortcut for the common case of no type character
*{"$callpkg\::$_"} = \&{"$pkg\::$_"} foreach @_;

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

Just ignore it. It's not an error, it's a warning, and only happens on a few combinations of CPAN module versions.
