Oh, I didn't know that. Should we upload the package as-is (with the
warnings and this explanation that they are OK), or should we wait on a
new upload?

Yeah, I believe Test::Warn will test that warnings happen, and will also
mute the warnings from displaying (by using a $SIG{__WARN__} hook or
something to that effect). This way you get the robustness of testing
for it while not worrying users that install the package ;-)
Thanks!

You're welcome. It seems to be relatively popular with our users:
http://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=libtest-www-selenium-perl
