If you can identify the point in the code where this is happening, you can selectively turn off this specific warning type with:

no warnings 'misc';
# problem code here
use warnings 'misc';

[download]

Be aware this turns off all 'misc' warnings between no warnings 'misc'; and use warnings 'misc';.

If you look in perldiag, you can do a search for 'Version string' which finds:

Version string '%s' contains invalid data; ignoring: '%s'
(W misc) The version string contains invalid characters at the end, which are being ignored.

The "(W misc)" tells you which warning to turn off.

perllexwarn describes all the warning types.
