The following only applies to 11g R2. It looks like PL/Scope has become available in 11g R1.
You won't get information about unused variables with PLSQL_WARNINGS='ENABLE:ALL'
:
SQL> !cat test.sql
set serveroutput on
alter session set plsql_warnings = 'ENABLE:ALL';
create or replace procedure foo is
v_a number;
v_b varchar2(10);
begin
dbms_output.put_line('hello world!');
end;
/
show errors
exec foo
SQL> @test
Session altered.
SP2-0804: Procedure created with compilation warnings
Errors for PROCEDURE FOO:
LINE/COL ERROR
-------- -----------------------------------------------------------------
1/1 PLW-05018: unit FOO omitted optional AUTHID clause; default
value DEFINER used
hello world!
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL>
As you can see the only reported warning is not related to the unused variables at all. Instead PL/Scope has to be used.
The following example has bee derived from Oracle 11g – Generating PL/SQL Compiler Warnings (Java style) using PL/Scope:
SQL> alter session set plscope_settings = 'identifiers:all';
Session altered.
SQL> alter procedure foo compile;
SP2-0805: Procedure altered with compilation warnings
SQL> show errors
Errors for PROCEDURE FOO:
LINE/COL ERROR
-------- -----------------------------------------------------------------
1/1 PLW-05018: unit FOO omitted optional AUTHID clause; default
value DEFINER used
SQL> @plsql-unused-variables.sql
Enter value for name: foo
old 10: where object_name = upper('&name')
new 10: where object_name = upper('foo')
Enter value for type: procedure
old 11: and object_type = upper('&type')
new 11: and object_type = upper('procedure')
COMPILER_WARNING
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
V_B: variable is declared but never used (line 3)
V_A: variable is declared but never used (line 2)

The script plsql-unused-variables.sql
is just a cut and paste from the blog post mentioned above. Because I found it useful I have also made the script available in Bitbucket.
