    <thetext>The &quot;warnings&quot; pragma was introduced in Perl 5.6.0, so validator doesn&apos;t work
with older Perls than that.  (At least) two alternatives:

1) Bump the minimum required version to 5.6.0.
2) Use -w and &quot;local $^W = 0&quot; instead of &quot;use warnings&quot; and &quot;no warnings ...&quot;.</thetext>

    <thetext>Hmmm. I&apos;m leaning towards requiring 5.6.0 (but I&apos;ve always been a bit agressive
with updates).

The current targets in the Linux world all ship with Perl &gt; 5.60, ActiveState is
at 5.6.1+, and Mac OS X (10.1.x and 10.2.x) ships with Perl 5.6.1. That leaves
the *BSDs and the proprietary UN*X vendors. Anyone know what they&apos;re doing?</thetext>

    <thetext>IIRC the *BSDs have a recent enough Perl available in their ports/packages tree,
if not the default &quot;system&quot; Perl.  +1 for requiring 5.6.0.</thetext>
