Re^3: Who is turning $^W on?

While not very pretty, this seems to work when added at the top of the test file:

BEGIN { $^W = 0 }

Test::Harness lets you add command-line switches by setting the HARNESS_PERL_SWITCHES environment variable. But that doesn't work for removing the warnings, because it is just added to the existing switches.

Sorry to reply to myself, but I've noticed that the HARNESS_PERL_SWITCHES variable may be useful for this after all, because the -X command line option overrides the -w option and disables all warnings. Just do the following: `HARNESS_PERL_SWITCHES=-X make test` [download] But if you still wanted to keep the lexical warnings this won't do what you want, because it disables them as well.	[reply] [d/l]
