So I have a file that in short has this problem...

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
package Foo;

use strict;
use POSIX;

...

sub remove {
  ...
}
...

and I get a get an error saying the subroutine remove has been redefined. I know the problem, there is a subroutine called remove in POSIX. However, I don't know how to handle it. How is this problem typically solved?

subroutine perl warnings

Subroutine XYZ redefined at line N [perl error]

You could wrap your routine in no warnings 'redefine' (which is lexically scoped):

no warnings 'redefine';

sub XYZ{

...
...

}

It worked for me!
