I've worked in environments (including the current one) whereby, entirely due to legacy reasons, cleaning up the code from a warning(s) POV, is not feasible with in the constraints of the project at hand - indeed, it would require a self-contained project to totally clean up the code.

The end result being that, wheresoever legacy code had/has to be used (pun intended) from within well-behaved code, it was/is done within a local block in order to circumvent the multifarious warnings that would otherwise be generated i.e.

{ no warnings; use Legacy::Module; }
The removal of the warnings from the legacy code can then be done in piece-meal fashion as a background task without compromising the aggressive timescales for the new code.

A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))
