Close your eyes and tap your heels thrice.
No, really, ignoring things is as easy as not looking at them. (In all
likelihood you should fix your code to not have warnings instead.)

I agree with Konrad that you should probably fix warnings rather than
ignore, but -W is the command line flag you want. -W1 is standard, -
W2 is verbose, -W0 is no warnings whatsoever.

Is there a possibility to ignore warnings dynamically? - I mean, 
sometimes it's helpful to redefine constants, which will always produce 
a warning. I want to suppress warnings for these lines only.

Or set one of the variables $-v, $-w, $VERBOSE to 'nil'.

   Option    $-v
   -W0       nil
   -W1       false
   -W2       true

Well - it looks fine, because it's no dirty trick.

Or cover your head with your towel, rubyists should ALWAYS have their
towel handy.

And as the Hitchhiker's Guide to Ruby explains this is also the best
defense against being eaten by the ravenous bugblatter beast of Traal!

Yuck.

I've pushed for structured warnings in the past, but it has fallen on
deaf ears.
