comment on

Mhm, thanks for the explanation, though I would not have considered cases 2, 3 or 6 false positives (those are the kinds of things I would want to catch, honestly), and would not have considered 1, 4 and 5 single-use (#1 uses $foo++, #4 in theory will see $lock checked at least once inside do_stuff_that_needs_the_lock(), and #5 passes $tree to new()).

Anyway, I took Grinder's point that use warnings::unused could be left commented out for commits, and went with that. It's Worked For Me™ so far.

Thanks, all.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
