I know. But I'll soon be to the point where I can start optimizing code.
The hardware can take it, but why not eek out a few more RPS? :-)

Been there, done that. :-) I no longer consider myself a novice. I was
merely curious as to the general concensus. It sounds like all the major
CPAN modules initialize to avoid warnings under -w, so I'll keep on my
previous course. All in all, it was an interesting discussion - it
mostly satisfied my curiosity.
