tracing "Subroutine ** redefined at " warnings

I am getting warnings like ( when I run perl -wc )

Subroutine foo redefined at bar.pm.
I am sure these functions are not redefined anywhere. I would like to
trace the source of these warnings.

How do I do this.
BTW I am using perl 5.8.3 on linux

Thanks
Ram

If you load a perl module with do (do 'mymodule.pm') rather than use
(use mymodule) then this can happen.

Look into the Carp module.
