Re^2: On Commenting Out 'use strict;'

[bofh_of_oz]

I would say that IMHO there are no trivial error messages: if compiler/interpreter complains, it is an error and must be fixed before sending code into production. Warnings can be commented out until all the errors are resolved; then, if you have time, deal with small things... but errors should be fixed.

As for our own error reporting - that's for the "logical" errors that Perl cannot catch but they still lead to wrong results - yes, most definitely. That's the second thing I tend to do (after coding the functionality).
