The warnings pragma is lexical, and somehow it seems inelegant to wrap an entire file's code in an unless statement. Probably a cleaner approach would be the if pragma:

use if ! $MODE eq 'PRODUCTION', warnings;

Personally I think I would prefer figuring out why there are warnings being generated in the first place, fix those that need fixing, and for the rest...

{ 
  no warnings 'warning type'; 
  # Code that generated the useless warning here 
}
[download]

...but I do understand that there are times when enough thought has been put into it, nobody who understands the warning would see them anyway, and ultimately it's just time to silence them all and move on.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
