There have been a few discussions on this topic before, and some of them tend to turn a bit nasty :)
You see, there are a lot of people who like the "quick and dirty" nature of Perl. They don't want strictures on by default, because it will add an extra line to their code. I can understand this for one liners from the command line, but having strictures on by default would not really inconvenience too many people, and the benefits would far outweigh the positives.
In any case, it wouldn't be a good idea to add this into Perl 5, because it would break too much legacy code. However, Perl 6 - AFAIK - has strictures on by default (not sure about warnings, but I don't see any real reason why this wouldn't be a good idea too).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
