I guess, at the beginning of every test script we could:
BEGIN{$^W = 0;};
But, apart from the tediousness of doing that, we probably don't want to
turn global warnings off. (Running 'make test' for any module apparently
turns on $^W, and I assume that happens for good reasons.)
The other thing we could do (equally tedious) is to ensure that $PDL::SHARE
is mentioned more than once by placing, in every test script, something
like:
if(defined($PDL::SHARE)){}

Yes - probably best to use get_sv(), which is what I've done in the perlbug
report [perl #52572] I've just sent.
I'll post back once I've found out whether the problem is going to be fixed
in the perl source, or has to be fixed from within the PDL source.

Yep :-)
