Strict is _not_ a newbie pragma. Together with
'use warnings;' or '-w' it can save you hundreds of hours
of debugging. When I'm interviewing a prospective applicant
for the shop I work at, and I look at the applicant's code,
a failure to use strict is almost always grounds for a
negative recommendation. It's simply irresponsible practice
to program without it.
You don't need an 'expert_mode' pragma, BTW. There's already
a 'no strict;' that you can turn off for blocks in which you're
going to be using symbolic references or something.
I agree that strict should on by default, but one of all of
my 5-liners will always be 'use strict;'.

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).
