The use or not use of strict module, depend at the platform and class at,whould you programing the script.
For example :

If you write a native service, whith Perl Dev Kit, and use the module "perlsvc" you can't use strict module, but if you write a console program, you can use it.

Personality, I like use that 3 modules :
strict, warnings and diagnostics
, and make a simple "sub" called logdump, at that make a simple file whith all output, its simple remmember for first programmers.

Enjoy.

• 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).
