PDF::API2 and HTML::MASON 2

[philote]

For some reason, PDF::API2 generates this warning:

Possible precedence problem on bitwise & operator at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/PDF/API2/PDF/Pages.pm line 292

That's not a problem normally, but Mason gives an error when compiling my component because of this:

Error during compilation of /path/to/my/component.mas:
Possible precedence problem on bitwise & operator at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/PDF/API2/PDF/Pages.pm line 292.

So I'd either like to find a way to fix PDF::API2 or keep Mason from dying when it gets a warning. But if I have to I'll continue using PDF::Create.

could you turn warnings off just before abd then turn them back on just after the offending line?

you have to do it like this though

{
no warnings;
# this is the offending line
}

Thanks Mike! That did the trick. I turned off warnings on the offending line in the module that was giving those warnings. I had actually tried this before by doing something like:

local $^W = 0;

Maybe I did something wrong or maybe that only works in older version of Perl because it didn't work for me. But using 'no warnings' did the job.
