Try it with 'diamond' or 'iguana' and it will also be silent!
I was half right. The warning comes from op.c, specifically Perl_scalarvoid. When it hits a constant op, it checks to see if it should throw a bareword warning. Otherwise, if it needs to warn about useless constants in void context, it does. There's a hack, though, like I thought, but the comment says:
/* the constants 0 and 1 are permitted as they are
conventionally used as dummies in constructs like
1 while some_condition_with_side_effects; */

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).
