Actually, it's gotten better at detecting bugs in scripts.

Really, it's a feature. Would you complain if your compiler told you
about more flaws in your programs that could bite you later?
If you aren't going to be modifying these, you don't need the -w switch
that is generating those warnings. The top line in
/vol/mi/www/cgi-bin/SFgate will look something like:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w or #!/usr/bin/perl -Tw
Just remove the w (and the dash if the w is the only option) and you
won't get those warnings anymore...
