in reply to RFC: Tutorial: use strict; now what!?
I didn't have time to read the whole thing yet, but I saw a few oddities.
"Execution of (FILE) aborted due to compilation errors." is not from strict itself, and is likely not to happen for 'refs' errors (since they are run-time errors). It's output for all compile-time errors, including run-time errors in files (modules) executed at compile-time.
"A bareword, essentially, is anything that perl can't parse as something else." =~ s/anything/an identifier/; (e.g. "++++" does not contain an bareword.)
