In the book I bought, Programming Perl, by O'Reilly they say I should use warnings instead of -w after the shebang and the perl path because -w is deprecated.
Is this true? Also, will use warnings; work on versions of perl < 5.8?
My copy of the Camel is at work, but if it says -w is deprecated, I'm inclined to believe it. :-)
Just checked my copies of both the Camel and the Lama. Both say 'use warnings' is preferred over '-w' because it gives finer grained control. Neither, as far as I can tell, says that '-w' is actually deprecated.
