in thread dmake warning question

It makes the warnings go away (or rather remain silent), but doesn't that mean that you will not be informed of other warnings too? It seems a bit like to comment-out "use strict; use warnings;" to get rid of those "superfluous" Global symbol "$..." requires explicit package name at ... messages, until you make a real typo and the program blows up and another bank keels over.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
