Hi Daniel,
thanks for the feedback.
You are correct, the "if" will not get run when the "use warnings" is
present. The bit you may not be aware of is the optional pre-processing
step that is done on the code when it is being built. If you build this
module on a version of perl that doesn't support "use warnings" it
modifies the code to replace all "use warnings" with "local ($^W) = 1"
before it is installed.
cheers
Paul
