in reply to How to make warnings disappear

I will reveal the answer in a couple of days; or you can find it on page 321 of the pink camel book.

(Please don't post spoilers, especially if you were hanging around when I explained it in the chatbox this afternoon. Also if you are Randal, then we already know that you know the answer, since you are an author of the pink camel book.)

Just checked my "every book I've had something to do with" archive shelf, and it's page 318 in the first pink camel printing, but page 321 on the second and third printing.

FYI, from someone who would know. {grin}

    Yes, my copy is the third printing, which is no doubt indicative of my own relative latecoming to Perl., The date I wrote on the flyleaf is "2 September 1993", which contradicts various other sources that say I have been programming in Perl since 1992. But it is probably authoritative.
