Question

I have installed AllPixPlugin? 1.00 and find the following in my apache logs:

[Thu Jan  2 11:38:32 2003] save: "my" variable $z masks earlier declaration in same scope at ../lib/TWiki/Plugins/AllPixPlugin.pm line 119.
[Thu Jan  2 11:38:38 2003] view: "my" variable $z masks earlier declaration in same scope at ../lib/TWiki/Plugins/AllPixPlugin.pm line 119.

[Thu Jan  2 12:15:40 2003] edit: "my" variable $z masks earlier declaration in same scope at ../lib/TWiki/Plugins/AllPixPlugin.pm line 119.

Is there a known fix?

Answer

This is just a warning, so it can be ignored, but you should be able to find the declarations of 'my $z' easily enough - just change one of them (and all references) to something else. Or you can enclose one of them (plus references) to be in a block, though that might break other things. See PerlTips and TWikiDebugging for more info.
