Subject: RequireUseWarnings ignores #! -w switch
Date: Sun, 11 Sep 2011 18:00:07 +1000
To: <bug-perl-critic [...] rt.cpan.org>
From: "Gerard Stainsby" <gstainsb [...] bigpond.net.au>
while modules obviously require an explicit use warnings; because they are not directly invoked, the perl interpreter parses the #!/usr/bin/perl line of scripts, and turns on warnings if -w is specified. Shouldn't this be enough? I don't want to turn off the rule in case I inadvertently leave off the -w switch, and I agree warnings are important. Gerard

The warnings pragma is a much better way to activate warnings than the -w flag. See http://perldoc.perl.org/perllexwarn.html for details (especially the section: What's Wrong With "-w"). -Jeff
