The thing about use warnings; is that it helps you to avoid subtle, sneaky errors that you would otherwise have a very difficult time tracking down. I'll gladly put up with a few spurious warnings, versus spending many hours of head-banging debug time trying to find where I slipped up. For me, use warnings; has paid for itself many times over.
As is so often the case, YMMV. I've never encountered anything like the situation you mention. Perhaps I'm not sufficiently advanced; perhaps it's just coding styles. If I ran into problems more often, I might agree with you and stop using warnings. To date, though, this nit-picky little pragma has saved me much aggravation and gnashing of teeth, muttering evil phrases, and all that fun stuff we're so good at.

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).
