in reply to Why isn't C<use strict> the default?

to "Perl isn't a B&D language", but who or what would be inconvenienced if it were?
With all due respect, things like strong typing, checked exceptions, whiny long function names, lack of automagicality, very long call chains, and such are the root of all evil. Don't confuse strict with B&D languages.

If you are asking "who or what would be inconvienced if Perl was a B&D language", the answer is EVERYONE!
