Or in an enclosing block. “local” does dynamic scoping so you can do something
like:
[CODE]
my $ret_value = do {
local $SIG{__WARN__} = sub {};
$obj->method(@ARGS);
};
[/CODE]
or a similar.

Yes.

According to https://metacpan.org/release/DateTime-Event-Sunrise , the module
in question had its latest release in 17 October 2013, which is not a long time
ago, so you can try submitting one to the Bugs link there and the maintainer
will get a notification. If possible, make sure you also add some
regression tests to the CPAN distribution’s test suite.
Regarding the copyright notice - I wouldn't rely on it too much, as many people
(including me) neglect to update it.
