I'm almost certain someone RFCd that for Perl6, although
a quick scan of the RFC list yields nothing. I know for a
fact it was discussed in the language mailing lists.
Actually, there was a whole sub-list working group for the
strict pragma!
Perl6 RFC #16, by Daniel Chetlin makes the argument that
the strict pragma should be left more or less the way it is.
Here is a brief synopsis of his reasoning, which was echoed
in the mailing lists when the scenario of turning strict
on by default was suggested:
=head1 ABSTRACT
Perl5 is usable with no hassle as a quick-and-dirty problem-solver
by default. It is ideal for one-liners, short scripts, and quick
hacks that have no need for extra protection or error-checking. It
is also great for large projects by making use of the C<warnings>
and C<strict> pragmas.
Perl6 should not make the one-liners, short scripts and hacks need
to jump through extra hoops to get the "lax" behaviour which is
default in Perl5; the point of using Perl as a quick-and-dirty tool
is that you don't have to do anything extra.
