in reply to 101 reasons to use strict;
I freely confess that the thing that kept away from strict the most was the 'my' command - I didn't understand what it did. I kept searching through the docs trying to find out how to declare an 'int' or a 'string'. I can laugh about it now...
I previously wrote medium size programs in basic and found that after a few thousand lines the program fell apart - my best techniques couldn't cover up for my mistakes. I really appreciate strict. It's like having someone sitting behind me saying things like "you misspelt that".
I even get annoyed at it for things like not telling me when my variable goes out of scope and I get the wrong value because of the parent scope. Do what I mean!
