Comment on Testing Perl Code - Suppressing Warnings by Markus

Thanks! Just what I was looking for. Cooked up a uitility method if anyone is interested.

# Executes the supplied code returning a hashref:
# ‘warnings’ => arrayref of any warning messages
# ‘warning’ => most recent warning message
# ‘result’ => executed code result
#
# my $run = trap_warn( sub { warn ‘tjoho!’; return 2 } );
#
# print $run->{’warnings’}[0]; # ‘tjoho!’
# print $run->{’warning’}; # ‘tjoho!’
# print $run->{’result’}; # 2
my $DIAG_TRAPPED_WARNS = 0;

sub trap_warn {
my $code = shift;

my @warn_message = ();
local $SIG{__WARN__} = sub {
push @warn_message, shift;
diag “Trapped warn: “.$warn_message[-1] if $DIAG_TRAPPED_WARNS;
};

my $result = # Run code

return { ‘warnings’ => \@warn_message,
‘warning’ => pop @warn_message,
‘result’ => $result };
}

Michael,

My apologies - I’ve had to change server and haven’t got thoughtpad.net back up yet. Coming soon - honest!

In the meantime, the diagram project can still be accessed at http://code.google.com/p/http-headers-status/

Regards,
Alan Dean

Yeah… The error message should be changed into something like: “Keystore is corrupt”, you know just to avoid confusion about the error cause…

Joshua -

I no longer have access to this model. The best I can say is try the drivers at http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=228&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=pl&lang=en&product=3413016.

Modem:

Thanks Michael for the links. I downloaded the INF utility and the video driver and they both work on my Compaq Presario C500

As of today (04/20/2009):

This “might” be the correct link to get the INF utility — http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProductID=816&DwnldID=16023&strOSs=44&OSFullName=Windows*%20XP%20Professional&lang=eng

Similarly, this “might” be the correct link to the video driver — http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProductID=2102&DwnldID=16835&strOSs=44&OSFullName=Windows*%20XP%20Professional&lang=eng

Good luck!

Michael
