    2. Supress warnings (no warnings ... )

    As John Macenroe once famously said @ Wimbledon 'You cannot be serious' ... this should only be done by those who know what they're doing and with great care - don't look gift horses etc. etc. To ignore a problem doesn't fix it.

    useing strict & warnings are provided for a purpose!!

    Wonders why aren't they aren't both used by default - being disabled as required ???

    At last, a user level that overstates my experience :-))

      Yes, so is no warnings 'redefine';

        Yes, but it should only be used when intentionally redefining a sub. This isn't the case here. Burying an error doesn't remove it.
