Re: When -w and use strict aren't enough...

in reply to When -w and use strict aren't enough...

If you leave the parenthesis off, like this:

    if ($mday == 1 && $month == 1) {
        handelNewYear;   # Typo in function name.
    }

then the code won't compile under 'use strict'.

Leaving parens off isn't always possible without writing uncommon idiom, but in many cases you can leave the parens off, and it'll capture many mistyped sub names.
