Re^2: Perl oddities

Don't forget that labels escape strictures too. If Perl can tell what it is, strict doesn't care. With filehandles it knows by position. With labels, it's the colon. You can forward define subs too, and get away with it.

Perl 6 has no barewords at all. If Perl 6 can't tell what it is from context, it's an error. Classes must be predeclared or use the :: prefix, for instance. They aren't just bareword strings anymore.
