If your code isn't generating any warnings, then leaving it in should
have no effect in production. I understand the desire for not keeping
warnings on just in case they fill up logfiles and stuff, but it is
worth noting that there is no performance penalty for having use
warnings turned on if your code isn't generating any warnings.
It should always be safe to leave warnings on in the highly rated
modules from CPAN. Obviously this isn't true for all modules on CPAN
but the well-loved ones shouldn't generate any warnings and as I said
above having warnings turned on doesn't have any performance penalty.
means, for the firsts 2 server(development and testing)the Perl warning will
display as before but when we run the application in 3rd server the perl
warning should not display.
IS IT POSSIBLE to write any config file where I can set/change use warnings
to no warnings depending on the server configuration in run time,
so any class using use warnings will replaced by no warnings or
something like that.
HOW TO DO THIS --ANY IDEA..
For your own code, though, if this is essential, I'd suggest having a
look at the if pragma.
For example:
use if $ENV{USE_WARNINGS}, warnings;
I'm not sure whether the inverse works:
use warnings;
no if $ENV{PRODUCTION}, warnings;
so you'd have to try that.
You can do other things rather than check the environment, but checking
the environment is an easy example of using the if pragma.
This only works where you can modify the code. Short of modifying the
warnings.pm file directly there isn't any way of automatically ceasing
the use of warnings in all the modules you use without editing those too.
All the best
