Re^2: Customizing diagnostics?

"parenthesis" is maybe what you would expect, but it is in fact only a "syntax" warning. The category is shown after the W at the start of the perldiag entry (which should be authoritative). "parenthesis" only applies to my or our followed by a paren-less list.

Well, here's something a bit odd. Here's what I was trying: `$ perl -wce'no warnings "parenthesis"; print ("\n")' -e syntax OK` [download] Which led me to think that my above reply was correct. If I change `no warnings "parenthesis";` to, say, `use strict;` or `chomp;` or `print "foo";`, then the warning comes back. But if I change it to `no warnings "y2k";` or even `use warnings "y2k"` (or any other category from perllexwarn), it stays gone. I'm on 5.8.3.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

This is a longstanding bug; using `no warnings "foo"` after `-w` (as opposed to `use warnings;`) disables all warnings; coincidentally, this was fixed a week ago by Rick Delaney and should be better in 5.8.8.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
