in thread Why no warnings for 1 in void context?

The final line of a required module isn't in void context - it's the return value of the require. Try putting something else there and you'll see there's no warning. I worked with a guy who put (unfortunately copyrighted) poetry in a string at the end of his modules.

    It is actually always in scalar context. I learned this while trying to be a wise ass with Devel::FIXME.
