there are many scripts (ack reports 189, below) that contain 'perl -w'.

D:\usr\local\parrot\trunk>ack --perl "perl -w" -l | perl -nle"}END{print $."
189

our minimum required perl version is 5.6.2. it's time these get be
converted to 'use warnings;', except where the '-w' is appropriate
(eg. one-liners)

A new Perl::Critic policy has been added which checks for 'perl -
w' (TestingAndDebugging::ProhibitShebangWarningsArg). The source now
passes this test as of revisions: r15861-8
