I came across a warning I hadn't seen before when initialising an array of RGBs when looking at this.

my @rgbVals = qw{ #ff00ff #2e7fee };

warned with

Possible attempt to put comments in qw() list ...

The category I found to switch the warning off was "syntax" which potentially covers a lot of ground; "comment" or "comments" was not recognised. Here's the code

use strict;
use warnings;

my @rgbVals = do
   {
       no warnings q{syntax};
       qw{ #ff00ff #2e7fee };
   };

print
   map {
           qq{@{
                 [
                     join q{,}, map { hex } m{^.(..)(..)(..)}
                 ]
             }\n}
       }
   @rgbVals;

I'd be interested in knowing if there was some finer-grained warnings category covering this.

Update: Thanks to toolic, TGI and FunkyMonk for the responses. I did try to find out in warnings but no luck there. I found "syntax" in a table in the Camel book (3rd Edn. pp 863) but didn't see "qw".
