Short answer: safe to ignore the warning.

Long answer:  Module::Compile and Filter::Simple are needed
to support some of my work to fix PDL::NiceSlice to correctly ignore
processing patterns in comments, pod, strings,...  In the new,
improved development model, this should all be moved to a topic
branch for development rather than leaving it in the main release.
Unless you set the PDL_NICESLICE_ENGINE environment variable
to the non-default options ('Filter::Simple' or 'Module::Compile')
then Filter::Simple or Module::Compile are never use'd or used.

Cheers,
Chris
