Thanks for your reply.

Up to now, I have not used 'use strict' for the very reasons you cite. Besides that, it appears to slow the script down tremendously (this may be due to the warnings). After I'm done with 'use strict', I am considering commenting the line so the script will load quickly again.

The script has a difficult to find intermittent defect. So, I'm employing 'use strict' to help find bad habits and maybe even help find this or some other defects.

I'm a C++ programmer by trade and because of the nature of C++, I try to let the C++ compiler find defects for me as often as possible. In this instance, I'm employing the same approach to Perl.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
