this is really strange - since it apears that you have a mostly
dis combobulated install there....
since If I recall correctly "use warnings" does not come out
until perl5.6...
cf:
[jeeves:/System/Library/Perl] drieux% perldoc -q warnings
Found in /System/Library/Perl/pods/perlfaq7.pod
How do I temporarily block warnings?
If you are running Perl 5.6.0 or better, the `use warn-
ings' pragma allows fine control of what warning are pro-
duced. See the perllexwarn manpage for more details.
but your @INC line up there suggests that you are running
the 5.00503 version - on an aix platform.
so you may want to do a 'which perl'
as there may be more than one of them installed
ls -li /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/perl

correct - that is not your problem - that @INC listing
is where that version of perl thinks that the 'things to
include' are suppose to be:
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503/aix
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/aix
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005
normally you would find that the 'warnings.pm' file
would be in an upper layer like
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503
which is WAY squirrelly since it does not come into
existence till the next release - eg: 5.6.0 - but
you will want to bring in 5.6.1, as there is no more
access to the original 5.6.0 version itself.
