bad idea (Score:1)

It's anti-Perl. Leave aside the logical arguments, like the inability of sysadmins everywhere to update their systems because of their crappy code. When default strictures happen, we'll know that Perl is, finally, in fact dead. It would really limit obfuscation and poetry, after all. Next thing you'll be wanting us to indent blocks by a fixed amount of whitespace. It's fascist!

  Please re-read the proposal. It happens only if you explicitly ask for 5.12.0 features.
  
  Cheers,

    Ah.... hmmm, calling it "by default" could be a bit misleading, then. Anyway, I was exaggerating my reply. :)
