VERBOSE and "warning: Insecure world writable dir..."

Maciej Pilichowski

Hello,

I've just got very popular -- as I guess from google hits -- warning
about insecure dir when I run something like this
puts %x{bzip2 -9 #{s}}

where s is file to compress.

I found many 'solutions' by changing the access to directories to
satisfy ruby, I don't want to do this but just turn *this* warning
off. I found the answer -- setting $VERBOSE to nil works great,
however I guess it shuts down all warnings.

So how can I turn off this one and only type of warning? And I don't
want to mess with my system settings, so please do not discuss this
subject.

Thanks in advance for help,
have a nice day
bye

Yes, indeed, I was curious how to set the variable to nil, gee...
Please, read my question -- my problem is I want to turn off only
specific warnings, not all.

have a nice day

There are also other answers, if you continue Googling. The first page
of google hits for that phrase includes both a patch to 1.8.5 as well
as several mentions of changing the $PATH.

Hmm. Is $VERBOSE thread-local?
