Choosy Coders use strict; (Score:1)

by ct (2477)

Interestingly, the lecturer manually added use strict to the top of an EyeDrop'ed program, and, shock, horror, it worked! It never occurred to me to test EyeDrops under use strict. :)
Not to start THAT holy war again, but I can't fathom coding without strict. I just checked a quick script I wrote at work this week which consisted of six lines of code, and was intended to be used once and only once. The seventh line, up top, was...
use strict;
In the end, to each his own, I guess. :)

  I strongly believe in use strict. The purpose of Acme::EyeDrops, however, is to remove all alphanumerics from your program, shaping it like a camel, say. Manually adding "use strict" (9 alphanumerics) after EyeDrops-converting your program seems to defeat this primary purpose.
