Each of those warnings catch many of my most frequent typos and brain farts in first drafts of code. <p>However,I do agree with you that there are many situations where -- at least some of them -- are better ignored than coded around. <p>But, your "just disable them" code block makes it look more of a chore than is necessary:<code> C:\test>perl -M-warnings=uninitialized,numeric,once,void -E"123;$x=1;print $y; 'A'+0" C:\test>perl -Mwarnings=uninitialized,numeric,once,void -E"123;$x=1;print $y; 'A'+0" Useless use of a constant in void context at -e line 1. Useless use of addition (+) in void context at -e line 1. Name "main::y" used only once: possible typo at -e line 1. Name "main::x" used only once: possible typo at -e line 1. Use of uninitialized value $y in print at -e line 1. Argument "A" isn't numeric in addition (+) at -e line 1. </code> <p>(My point being that args to <c>no warnings;</c>can be multiple:<c>no warnings qw[uninitialized numeric once void];</c> <p>The one that really bugs me is:<code> C:\test>perl -wE"say (1+2)*3" say (...) interpreted as function at -e line 1. Useless use of multiplication (*) in void context at -e line 1. 3 </code> <p>But it is not the warning that bugs me, but rather the interpretation. <P>There is -- IMO -- absolutely no logic for allowing a space between a function name and its argument grouping parens. None whatsoever. <P>If the syntax required that if parens are used on a function call, the left paren <i>must</i> be abutted to the function name, that annoyance would go away. <p>I also wish that there were a <c>:nocommon</c> group label; though we could probably argue for a week about which should, and should not, be included :) <div class="pmsig"><div class="pmsig-171588"> <hr /> <font size=1 > <div>With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'</div> <div>Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.</div> <div>"Science is about questioning the status quo.
